Sorry to hear Al.
Any idea what happened?

I'm reall sorry about your loss. I think many of us have had this hapen to us this time of year... I lost a 7 polyp frong spawn thanks to heat and a defective chiller...

[Joe Reefer]

How long were you gone for?

[danny zubot]

I'm a bit concerned about my vacation next month because of this type of thing.

[Joe Reefer]

Me too....
I leave on sunday for a week.

Well I was out of town for 11 days ,but had someone feeding and the lights were all on timers ,I think it was cyno that did me in I had had a kh problem before I left but thought I had it under control,but guess not. I hear the temps were a real scorcher here 30+ so the house would have been toasty ,the good thing is my fish are ok.

Sorry to hear it Al Yeah, it was very hot here for a few days last week. Glad to hear your fish made it, though

Geez, good thing we take our vacations at home and have AC in our living/dining/tank room during the hot spells.

[OCDP]

Yikes.. sorry to hear that.

I'm off for vacation next week, I have the lights on timers and have someone to come feed the fish and top-off the tank. I'm still very very nervous about the trip . Especially cuz im adding a carpet on monday. But... at least I have someone to watch the tank and inform me if anything goes wrong.. I can give some simple directions for a quick fix (hopefully) ... Still not 100% sure on this trip ..

Sorry to hear what happened but I think it would be a good idea to have some phone numberof fellow reefers in your area that your friends that are watching your tanks can call... just in case.
