Oh no, this is horrible news!!!

I have had the exact same thing happen to me twice, except in my case nothing in the tank survived the 98 degree water. When this happened to me one was a cheapie heater, I switched that out to an Ebojager thinking I could avoid the problem by using a better brand. The Ebo was the second heater to cook my tank. Since then I always keep two heaters in the sump that when added together provide the correct wattage needed. Example: 2x150w instead of 1x300w. This way if one of the heaters gets stuck on it doesn't have the power to cook the tank. Since changing to dual heaters, I have had one heater get stuck on, and it only managed to raise the system's temperature by 1.5 degrees. HTH.

Well, the smoke has cleared for now. Or at least it appears to have. I just poped in two more maxima for a total of 5. My large maxima just spawned in my tank. O my god it's gross....

Let's just say my protien skimmer is working over time. There is lots of macro algae, so it should be interesteing to see if any of them take.

Now, the new tank design is ok. Im's thinking of doing a re-build on the rock structure. I have not decided.

Picture soon...
