If I had not just set this tank up a few months ago I would probably just sell my stuff off and have fun restocking. BUT I did just set the tank up so, I am just going to do it. If I didn't have two cats and another tank to move as well I wouldn't be dreading the move so much. It will be...

Haha! Well the drive from Reno to Las vegas is only 7-9 hours, so hopefully I won't have to do a water change till I get there. I already have plenty of zip ties. All I need is some egg crate :)

Thats great alternative! I am hoping to avoid removing my coral from the live rock since some of it has attached itself, but what you described is a distinct possibility. :thanks:

I am glad you were able to catch it! Mine had been setup in the same spot for almost a year with no issues. My plants and the Malaysian trumpet snails made it through just fine, but the fish couldn't take the heat :( The only way to know if you killed the BB is to monitor for a ammonia spike...

I will be using one of those temperature controls in any case. I would rather be safe than sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I am not sure. I really enjoyed the cryptoheros nanoluteus and blue star endlers together. I would love to do that again but the blue star endlers were hard to come by, so I am not sure if I will find then again. I do like the contrast of blue and yellow though :) I don't think I will...

It's is a rainbow stlyo. Good eye. The sunny D's have opened up and even grew a new polyp! They are not looking their best yet, but they are open :) In other news I have not had time to play with my camera since I have found out I will be moving to Vegas :) life has been hectic trying to...

Yep. I found that out the hard way. Though I have caught issues with my tanks much faster just by looking at them myself. I wish the heater had started to glitch in the afternoon because I would have noticed the odd behavior in my fishes. The redundancy is really for when I am not able to look...

Thanks. I will check that one out. I would rather be safe than sorry again. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So, what do you all think of temperature controls that automatically shut off or turn on a heater? Anyone used them? Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I will do that. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

That is exactly what I was doing. Both heaters appear fine so I am unsure which went haywire :/ Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I woke up this morning to my 55 gallon tank radiating heat :( My two Cryptoheros Nanoluteus pairs, my breeding group of blue star endlers, my group of Pygmy corys, my big bronze corys....All gone :( I was devastated as I cleaned out the tank this morning. The only good thing is the plants...

The sunny D's I got about a week ago have not opened up yet. They have shed a layer of skin once already. Today I saw a bit of the Orange and the skirt peeping out. It looks as thought they will shed again. I am trying so hard to be patient and it is very tough :( In other news I will be...
