5 day vacation...no problem I thought. Tank was cleaned the day I left, topped-off, auto-feeder, etc. The apartment thermostat was set high so the a/c wouldn't kick on while I was gone. Well, the building switched the heat on during those 5 days. I returned to a sauna!
The tank water was so low it didn't even make it into the overflow. So, an 84 degree tank mixed with no flow other than a koralia = heartbreak, death and algae.
Lost livestock: CB Bengai Cardnial, coral banded shrimp, skunk cleaner shrimp, snails, crabs.
CORAL: 4" teal/pink chalice, favias, 2 heads of frogspawn, small toadstool mushroom, 1 SPS, green star polyps, feather dusters, red and skittles acans (recessed but hopefully will grow back), pulsing xenias (probably grow back well), bleached green monitpora, few zoas, shriveled ricordea.
