SRC Member typrobin Posted August 8, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2004 went home today and heard chiller sounding very stressed from the first floor.went up to my room and saw that the temperature reading is 33 degrees ..i had forgotten to reset my timer and my twin 250watts were on from this morning till now.a piece of sponge had stucked in the chiller pump,causing severely obstructed water flow. casualties-mass rtn of most sps colonies green monti rtn-ed most brains,open brains,pratas look very stressed none of my fishes could be seen actions taken-done a 20% water change -fragged off most rtn sps branches -use a more powerful pump to direct the water straight from my chiller to the main tank -on my air-con at full blast with the cold air blowing the water -removed my hood and placed a full sized room fan blowing on the water conclusions-ACCIDENTS DO happen,when they do,make sure u are prepared... i had to dig out old leftover salt because i did'nt stock any salt.i am very grateful to the fella who made my skimmer as it went into ultra skimming mode thus reducing the possibillity of a tank crash.once again,the prowess of the beckett is proven. i lost alot of good stuff.... hahaha...good for u...luckily u got your becketts in time..
