    Heater Failed, tank too hot!

    That Seneye thing is an amazing idea, If only it didnt cost so much!! $110.80 plus $10 a month per tank.. seems a bit much. I guess if you had a big reef tank with $100 fish or something it would be worth it. but not so much for my guppies lol

    Moved my tank by the window

    You'll need to keep an eye on the temp in your tank, The morning sun can warm up a tank alot more then you'd think. especially with a smaller tank.
