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.

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.

I phoned the company that makes my chiller and they told me that most likely the fan in the chiller that keeps it cool stopped working. That caused the chiller to overheat continually and then shut down. When it would cool down, it would start up, overheat and then shut down again.....repeatedly.
My house was closed up over this hot spell and friends told me when they checked the house it was stifling hot. This, combined with my MH lighting caused the tank to heat so quickly I now have set up an external fan blowing into the chiller and it is working fine again. I guess it is Murphys law.......... the chiller worked fine for 2 years.... the week I go away is the time the fan decides to seize up. I hate this Murphy guy.... whoever he is !
