tank crash

todrick · Feb 26, 2008

well i got my sump room running but the bad thing is even with 700 watts of heat the temp droped to 72 and stayed there for like 3 days so i went and bought another heater and ive got it to 76.9 so every stony is either dead or 3/4 of the ways dead only thing left is zoaz that have not opened since the move and one ric.
:-(

Dude that sucks, how big is your tank that 700w won't keep it warm??

Todrick, Did You Not Notice It Is That Why It Stayed That Way For Three Days? Sorry To Hear About That Man. Let Me Know If You Need Help With Anything.

Sorry to hear about that.

One of the locals up here keeps his reef at 74 deg, so I wouldn't have guess that 72 would be such a problem. What temperature do you normally keep the tank?

todrick · Feb 26, 2008

it use to stay at 78 but with the 180 display and the 55 and 30 gallon downstairs the temp was 80 when i conecteded it but i guess after the water ran it droped and even my chalice is dead

not to say it isnt the culprit, but id be looking for another reason for losing so much stuff so fast. that isnt the best temp, but I wouldnt call it deadly. at least not a quick death. now if its at 72 at the hottest, and drops into the sixties that would do it, but I doubt a few days at 72 would wipe everything out. have you looked into other reasons?

todrick · Feb 27, 2008

ive check every thing and its all fine

WAHAHAHA maybe you should stick with something you can handle like a nano.

ironman · Feb 28, 2008

good pep talk jeremy! your so compationate!

jermpool · Feb 28, 2008

Only for todrick. He made it personal.

todrick · Feb 29, 2008

dont be mad cause my water change is more then ur whole tank

jermpool · Feb 29, 2008

Is that the best comeback you got, weak.

ironman · Feb 29, 2008

you guys are acting like little kids! and maybe if you did more water changes there would be some coral in that tank todrick! HEHE! And we all know what jeremys tank has got to look like! HEHE

My tank has dropped as low as 67 degrees before and I've never lost anything... Of course, that was accidental! I would also check into something else being the culprit as I don't think low 70s would do fatal damage.

ironman · Mar 1, 2008

thats kinda how I felt sara. I just dont see a couple days at 72 killing much, maybe stress but not death. who knows?

jermpool · Mar 1, 2008

Maybe everything was tired of listening to Toricks bs.

bkv1997 · Mar 1, 2008

Or maybe that little thing called carma caught up with todrick for talking about my tank.

72 isn't going to be your problem unless it dropped from 80 to 72 within an hour. I use to run my 55 between 75-77 all the time with my chiller.

jermpool · Mar 2, 2008

How come a guy that can talk so much smack can't keep his own tank in a running condition. I bet you are realy busy pointing everything out that's dead to yourself. If you need someone to laugh in your face just call me I will be more than happy to.
