heater I currently have a Visi-Therm Stealth Heater, 150W on my 40 gallon breeder tank. It's been there for over a year with no problems so far. It's in my sump so it's not visible in the tank. works well there! I actually do have a friend that had the same problem as you - his heater got...

A new heater In my opinion, I'd just get a new heater. They're not that expensive compared to the cost of replacing your livestock again. :D I would also get an all plastic completely submersible heater as well. I had a glass heater in my sump that broke for no apparent reason and polluted my...

I had a pretty major temperature increase for a sustained period of time when the corals died. That was not at the same time that the fish died. The water temp increased and killed the corals due to a really hot house - no air conditioning - over the hottest period of the summer last year. Or...

I thought of that but now I'm wondering that if I do that, i'll start at 80 and then when the lights come on, won't it raise the temp up again? I feel like I'm overthinking it. LOL!! Also, I had a number of SPS corals in the tank which perished in the heat of the summer last year. I really don't...

Thanks for the reply. It hadn't happened before and I've had my tank up for over a year so I think i can safely blame it on the stress of the new arrivals then. I was thinking of building a hood to get the lights off the top of the aquarium and adding a couple of computer fans to get the heat...

I had a problem with 'ich' a few months back and lost a number of fish. I talked to another guy about it and he said that it's most likely caused by water temperature fluctuations. At the time, I had also introduced some new tankmates. It could have been that also...I dunno. My question is - has...

Cool, thanks!

yeah - that's the one. Any thoughts?

Duh! Yeah, thanks! Too many browser sessions going - lost track of where I was. Thanks for the link!

Has anyone ever heard of Sean LeMay? I am considering buying an eBook from Sean Lemay and am interested in hearing if he knows what he's talking about before I shell out the $27 for it. I have a 40 gallon reef tank and I recently (April) had a round of marine 'ich' that killed about 75% of my...
