Came home from the holidays to find my tank at 65 degreees. Not sure how long it was like that but nothing was opened up fully. Some of my sps has some PE but everything else seemed really stressed. Haven't seen my blenny and wrasse, but the clowns are still swimming around. Appareently my heater bit the dust and I had to run to petsmart and get a new one. The temp was raised slowly and the light cycle extended to keep the temp up. When I woke this morning the temp was back up to 76. Should I be worried or will my corals make it?? Like I said not sure how many days they were in the cold!!!

I may have lost the red cap that I got from you Anthony due to that very reason. I lost 100 feeder shrimp in a seperate tank. My display had it's heaters unplugged since my coralife dual timer/powerstrip broke and I forgot to plug them in. I plugged them in and my acros are still a-ok.

Most everything seemed to have some Polyp Extension but a few didn't. My palys and zoas for the most part seemed a little stressed but opened up after the temp went up.Guess I;'ll wait and see what they look like when I get home .

We'll I came home today and had some die offs and some of the colonies still show very little PE. Hopefully things will come back. This is so frustrating!!!:bareteeth: On the good side my chrismas wrasse and blenny graced me with their presence.

None of my lights were off cycle and everthing else seemed to be fine. I plugged the heater in and didn't see a light on so it's busted. I got a new new one from RCA today that is a little more reliable. I hope everything comes around.

We'll the temp is finally stabilized, but woke up this morning and found my RBTA decided to move into my powerhead!!!!! Had to do a quick water change before I left for work. Man when it rains it pours!!!! Now my poor clownfish are homeless!!!

Wow, Anthony. It always seems like it goes that way...

I can hook you up with another RBTA.

Thanks Erick Hopefully I will get another soon, but not until I change tanks and get rid of the powerheads!!! What the heck attracts anemones to them anyway???
