    My dad shut the ac off to work on it and didn't tell me. My torch was huge before this and always open. It had 5 heads and 3 died. How can I tell if the other two will come back? They still haven't opened since sat. I really hope the other two make it. It was so awesome looking, I'm pretty bummed.

    Wow, how hot did the tank get. Sorry to hear about that.
    There really is no way to tell if it will open. All you can do is keep the temp stable and give it the best stable water conditions and hope it recovers.
    Again sorry that unfortunate event. Good luck. Hope they recover.

    When I got home it was around 88 I also lost two fire fish. I may need to invest into a chiller. Fed it some reef roids seemed to be open a little more this morning. I guess time will only tell.
