I agree 100%. I was just explaining how it can happen. Not everyone stays calm when the s*it hits the fan and that's how the heater goes boom!
Yes it may not be a smart move, but until you are in a panic situation because you are losing $3000 worth of livestock, don't think you aren't...
Yes, but it's when it gets stuck on and someone pulls it out of the tank without unplugging it (you know, everything in the tank is dead or dying...
Take it out of the water with it plugged in, and if the heater is stuck in the on position...................BOOM! This only happens if it's faulty.
If I owned a Seaclone 150 and someone offered me $60 for it, I'd take it. I'd then find a used AquaC Remora and buy it. They usually go for around...

They recommend 24 hours so it has time to reach it's proper ionic balance as well as proper Oxygen saturation. Freshly mixed SW could be O2 deficient...
Just a guess, but it could be cyano. In my experiences, when it first shows up it kind of looks furry, until it gets thicker. Then it gets kind of...
I wouldn't mind some palys. You should think about shipping some to fellow 3 reefers. We would pay of course.
Reefcleaners.org. They are a 3reef sponsor and are awesome. Great prices and excellent customer service. They even have an option to fill out a form...
No pics. Use the Go Advanced setting button and you can upload pics right from your computer.
I do a 30% WC every 2-3 months. If everything is fine, 3 months. Every once in a while (like once a year) my polyp's tentacles start to shorten up...
