I'm so sorry for that mistake. I'm pretty embarrassed now so I'll go stick my head back in the sand.

Thanks for the welcome all the same.

lol no worries, welcome to canreef.

anyways i have been getting temperature fluctuation for a about 3 days now and couldn't figure out why. it was fluctuating between 28-31 degrees celcius which really hot. well i found the culpret last night it was the new power head i bought (never buy the odyssea power head thier cheap for a reason) as soon as i took it out and replaced it with a koralia 1 less flow the temperature drastically changed down to the 26 degrees celcius range.

well i guess fate has done it again my tank once again crashed from excess heat.

i went home for lunch today and found my tank at 34 degree celcius..

i found the cause of the heat increase was that a piece of rubble had fallen into my power head and the spindle wouldn't spin, therefore sky rocketing my tempurature..


looks like i'm back at square 1 again
