biggest tragedy!!!!

so one night it reached 93 degrees in my house, so i had a fan blowing on the water and it was totally fine, then my sister took the fan cause she said she was hott, and it was hers (she took it while i was sleeping)
so the heat killed
1. kenya tree
2. 14 heads of hammer coral
3. 4 heads of green frogspawn with purple tips
4. 3 heads of green tipped frogspawn,
5. ricordia
6. misc. zoas.

i spent like $400 on all of this with some rare zoas and such, tubs blues fire/ice, cats eyes, etc.

gone : (
i dont know how i am going to replenish this, with the need of a pump for a return for my sump, and a new skimmer for a 135, its just too much : /

well just thought i would share that, hopefully his doesnt happen to anyone else

 

Sorry for your loss nemo, If it was me, your sis would be wearing that fan like a hat. J/K Luna

 

Family.........

 

that sux, period.

 

sorry to hear , im not all that experienced but i can imagine the feeling of a lost investment.

sometimes when my tank gets hot ill grab a bottle and jamm some ice cubes and waterand let it float to help. hope its not a complete loss.

good luck

 

thanks all, yeah the fan is def. staying put and the temp is fine, but i have been having to do 5 gallon water changes every day : /

 

Sorry for your losses....

 

Damn that sucks... I am so glad I put my tank in a relatively small room with its own AC.

 

When I lived w/ my parents, my sisters tried so hard to kill my oscars, then my piranahs by putting whatever in the tank. A little bleach here, etc... you have no idea how many back to back water changes I did when my sister fessed up to putting bleach in the oscar tank.
W/M said it best....Family.........

 

Once again one of those digital temp warning sensors would have been a great investment...

Great insurance for only ~$10-15. (At PetsMart)

Just don't depend on only for determining water temp.

Set alarm to go off at degree or so below low end, and degree or so beyond high end.

I have one in both main and nano. Have had a couple of "warnings" since using, saving me much grief.


Sorry about loss. Know it is emotional as much as financial. :-/
