    Lightening hit my neighbor's house this week and it knocked out the controllers on my heaters and the temp got up to 90F in both my tanks. I lost my bubble coral which I've had for years along with my cleaner shrimp. I guess it could have been worse. At least my Moorish Idol is still alive and thriving. Also lost a TV and speaker system on my computer even though they were hooked up to a surge suppressor. I was told it was the electro magnetic pulse given off by the lightening. :(

    Thanks for the Karma! In 2 weeks I'm getting new carpet and I'm going to have to take my reef tank apart so that the new carpet can be installed. I just hope I don't lose anything else.
