Tony, I didn't see your big post until today (though obviously I sae your emergency thread). It certainly is hard to read. The grief you must feel for the loss of these critters having kept them soooo many years must be devastating. I'm so sorry it had to end this way.

sorry to hear about your catastrophe Tony. Thanks for the additional tips as well. I'll be investigating a second controller for my heaters this summer, if it's not too late by the time I get home this evening

Also, every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end..

A hard read and I'm definitely sorry for this end. I figured on a softer ending for the big tank, into the sunset and all that.

How are the survivors doing?

Tony I'm so sorry for your loss!
We lost Flash Gordon @ 4 years and I was devastated, I can only imagine how painful it was to lose these fish with the history you share with them. While you might not be interested in restarting the system know that your passion lives on through those you influenced! I can personally say stopping by in the early stages of your build was a big push to set up our large system, so thank you!

Kiener put it very well, with the closing of this door coming the opening of many others.

So sorry to hear about this. As a large tank owner, this is the worst nightmare situation and I share your worries each time I leave my house.

Tough to read... Delphinus I nearly had the same experience 3 months ago. We went to B.C. for 4 days, the night we returned, me and my wife were watching tv in the next room and the tank went silent. Exactly the same issue. The Apex (6 months old) stopped controlling everything (controller was lit with a blank screen) and put everything in fallback. I didn't realise what this meant when I set it up, so EVERYTHING was fallbackff. If this had of happened even 24hr sooner my 150G would have been dead... Hope things look up for you.

Were you able to get the Apex ever going again? I'm kind of torn on what to do about this, maybe I should contact Neptune and see if they'll take it in and service it, or something..
