Hydor koralia power head. It had been giving me trouble the last little while, making weird noises and stuff. But I cleaned it and all had been good the last 2 weeks.
Now the apartment and the tank has a nice almost cigarette smell to it... Wife is ****ed the $60 fish she bought yesterday is dead. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Brutal! Sorry to hear. I would probably do some large WC to make sure if any chemicals are in the water.

Jeez. So sorry to hear.... I have a wonky Jebao powerhead in my tank still and now I'm thinking I should fast-track getting a replacement.
Hey, if you're interested, you're welcome to some of my chaeto. Mine has grown to a basketball size and has a healthy copepod population. Also some mushrooms/live rock rubble. |

I would for sure replace it. I should have replaced mine when it started acting up... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

So I took apart the power head and this is what I found.
Looks like it melted. There was a bunch of black plastic pieces all over the tank. My worry now is, do I have to replace the sand? Is there chemicals in my tank that I won't be able to remove with water changes? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Did a 100% water change and added a bunch of activated carbon. Still smells like chemicals though.
Not sure if I will have the budget if I have to buy new sand and new live rock. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Wow I've never seen a single powerhead take out a tank like that! Yikes! Sorry to hear. Hopefully some things will pull through.

All the snails, pods and the kole Tang I picked up yesterday died.
The frogspawn and hammer coral look ok, but not super happy in my low flow weak light 10 gallon. The acropora I have have all lost their colour. Not sure if it will come back or not. Going to try and find someone who can take my coral for a bit. I am pretty sure the tank will have to recycle and I don't think they will survive my 10 gallon. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |
