Don't go on holidays
Well I got back from holidays I had fun, lots of sun! But.... I come back to see that the heat wave we had claimed almost all my coral! I guess the house and the tank got too hot. No fish died but almost all SPS, all my LPS...Done!!! Very discouraging!!! not sure what I want to do now. Just thought I would throw this outthere to encourage people to buy chillers!!!!! I know if I continue I will.

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.. |
