Don't go on holidays

[snailbuddy]

I feel your pain . . . the heat claimed many of my corals and all my shrimp!

The EXACT thing happened to me, I easily lost the $$$ value in corals & fish that I could have easily bought a chiller. I have vowed to never cheap-out again in this hobby. I'm still rebuilding since this crash.

Sorry to hear bout your loss. We take our holidays in Novemer or February and head south. We have to worry about power outages.

I found that running my lights from 11:30 to 5:30 AM was the only thing I could do to keep the heat in check....the tank is upstairs and it gets very hot during the day.Unfortunately I lost a ton of corals 2 large monti caps a large Frogspawn that I had split in to 3 mult headed colonys was decimated I am down to 2 colonys with 2 heads each, I lost a bubble coral as well. the softer corals...zoos, shrooms and zenia seem fine.

I have been debating on running a couple of lines down to the basment to my sump and run it through a bunch of coils and back up.....not sure if this would be effective though..
