Default To those at the frag swap a couple weeks ago

Who got pieces of my bubblegum acro? Please grow them up well as I need a frag. I just lost my colony of it and about 14 others.

Edit: make that 17

*sigh* I hate this hobby.

Dang. Tank crash? What a lousy way to wake up on a Sunday morning. Sorry Christy. I didn't get one or I'd give it back to you. I believe BC Wolfen got a frag of it. If you come over, I'll frag you some of my corals when your tank is ready again.

The chiller is still blowing fuses mostly I think because the room gets too hot. It must have been about 90F+ in the room when I got home last night and that was at 10:45pm. I think my nano is a complete write off as it was 94.5F and stuff actually looks cooked in it. For the big tank, the chiller was still running then as my tank sitters (I was on holidays) had been diligent about checking on it and replacing fuses as needed however, the tank hit 90 on Thurs eve/Friday and then blew another fuse Friday night and it wasn't caught until Saturday afternoon. The tank is a total disaster, white colonies everywhere

As an aside, why do the ugly brown ones always survive? Not fair.

I'm currently installing the AC unit in the fish room. Wish I had done that before I left

Hi Christy

Sorry to here of your chiller problems. I am sure you have checked everything on that circuit. Once you get through this ordeal, you are welcome to have frags of any of my corals to get you started again.

Your chiller might be low on freon and compressor will stop on overheat protection if it has it, or blow the fuse.
If this is the case you might want to reacharge it.
I have been wrong before but you newer know for sure..
