Tank Crash----Complete devastation

Edzo · Feb 2, 2014

Wow, I had no idea this happened Bob. I feel lucky to have seen your tank in person a couple of times, truly special. Anything I can do to help you out please let me know. Hang in there!

Omg this sux

sorry to see this!

glb · Feb 2, 2014

Wow. So sorry for your loss. At the same time, I'm heartened by the generosity of the R2R community. What an amazing group of people. I wish I had more than a few frags in a nano so I could send you some too. One day I'll pay it forward like everyone is doing here.

i can thank you enough for the offer. the hardest part has been watching pieces that it took me forever to track down and then see them rtn almost right in front of me

its going to take some time but i will be back better than ever. once that tank stablizes i will be on the hunt once again trying to find those pieces i loved the most!!

I'm glad to see you will be building it back up and not quitting!

Turbo: I sent you an e-mail through fragswapper yesterday before I read this. I'm sorry to hear about the crash man. I had a tank crash due to over heating and it gave me the opportunity to change some things in the system that I didn't like. It was the way for me to make the best out of a lousy situation.
I see you're from Pgh. I live in Shadyside. Are you a PMASI member?

Hi Eric this is turbos wife. I sent out over 100 emails yesturday and i dont think half of the people got them

and i already deleted their requests so i have no idea who got one and who didnt. I dont think he is a member but if i am wrong i am sure he will be on here to correct me lol

We had a 125 crash on us before but it was due to Kalk and we lost all of our fish. Never have experienced something like this and never want to again! Bob (turbo) asked me to start writing a list of what we lost but i told him he is crazy. I dont even know half of the stuff we had because it was all in our frag tank growing out. i would buy high end frags and put them in there so they were safe and wouldnt get lost until they were big enough to move to the other tank. One change that i will be asking him to make is not to have the tanks connected to each other. I want them completely separated. So if something like this ever happens again at least we would have something to start over with.

i could cry with you...i am so sorry to see this...i hope you continue .

neuro · Feb 3, 2014

btw do you guys have controllers? i wonder if there are any additional clues by looking at graphs to see if there are symptoms of a crash by looking at spikes/drops.
