Ah geez...I'm going on vacation for 10 days next week...95 degrees!!? That seems really, REALLY warm. Do you know what causes you tank to be so dependent on a chiller?

Oh man, that's just awful Jim. If we can help at all let me know. We've still got a 75g going that could possibly house a couple things.

Jim:

Aww, man. There's really no consolation I can give that won't sound cliche.

If you need help cleaning up, whatever, let me know (651-3450). I could also "coral sit" some of the ones you think survived, until they get back to speed.

I don't do SPS, so I have nothing to donate...but I'll help if I can!

Jim I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I know that I have also lost a number of SPS corals this summer due to heat and just being away so much and not being able to do proper maintenance. It sucks!

Ouch Jim, that really sucks. Well assuming I still have a tank when I get back from the holiday I am on right now I can fix you up with some frags.
Just give me a call when ever you're ready.

After reading all that one might consider lowering light output down to minimal lewels before vacation.
This will not affect corals and might just save the whole tank in cases like this

That's not good to hear.

I have read about this happening again and again to different people's tanks.

The only way around it I can see is, tank crashes are inevitable after enough years go by, we have to back each other up by donating corals to anyone whose tank crashes. Kind of like an insurance policy for reefs.

Don't give up on this hobby. Other hobbies and pursuits are easier but less rewarding.
