    So i will start out by saying I have two tanks that make an L in a corner in my bedroom (20 long seagrass and 29 reef). And there is like a spider web of cords and plugins so sometimes it gets confusing. So when i did a WC on my 29 I somehow unplugged my 20 heater. So My pipefish was just floating in the corner of the tank and when I touched the water I saw it was FREEZING i live in Minnesota and it is -5 degrees out right now. So i got two heaters hooked up and I am waiting for the water to warm up. Other than this the pipefish was doing great

    I hope the pipefish pulls thru, they are very cool indeed.
    Cable management never hurt anyone ;D

    yeah I know between two power strips there is 16 plugins. As the water is warming up he is getting better

    Good luck. I think this is a good reminder that I need to label all of my cords too.
