Overheated tank

[Wilson]

This is the before and after.. 24 hour loss of central air.. tank got to 92 degrees. Everything is repaired now, but not a lot made it through. Had the fans and ice going, but it was too late.

Luckily the fish made it. Time will tell if any of the anemones will pull through. "Survivors" have lost most of their color.

Oh man this is so sad. Hopefully you will have a few.

 

[Wilson]

I hope so too.

I have one of those anemones so when it splits you can have one

Same here, got a rainbow on the verge of splitting. If you can use it, lemme know.

Thanks guys, I'm going to give it some time to see how the dust settles. Mushrooms zoa's and softies seem unaffected so far

Corals are very hardy. Especially soft corals and zoas. If you had a tank full of sps they would have all died.

Now that I have some space, maybe it's time to jump into SPS haha

Maybe keep a portable a/c unit on hand? LG Electronics 8,000 BTU (5,500 BTU, DOE) 115-Volt Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier Function and LCD Remote in White-LP0820WSR - The Home Depot .

Fingers crossed the central air doesn't die again in the foreseeable future. I did just purchase a generator. Lucky this wasn't a power outage. That temp, AND no flow? I would've just given up.

Sorry to read...know the feeling well

I look at it as re-landscaping....new adventure.

 

[MadReefer]

Sorry to hear, sure does suck.

 

[Nijessi]

That does suck -- I have a portable LG AC unit from our old house and it rocks.
