Panic and aquariums do not go together at all yet there are times when maybe you should panic and most times when you should not!
The problem is that when you panic, you rush to judgment and you rush to make bad decisions. These bad decisions, within an aquarium, then multiply and begin a cascading of events that can lead to a total crash of your saltwater reef aquarium or the loss of all of your fishy inhabitants.
Are you panicking yet? No? Good!
So today let's talk about the very RARE times you should probably panic and all those other times you should not.
1. What would be a scenario in which you think would truly be a time to panic? What would cause you to panic?
2. What are some common issues that cause people to panic in which there is no need to pai walked in one early morning with water on the floor.. When you're dealing with 25,000 gals+.. That's a reason to 'Freak-Out PANIC'!!!.. Trust me.. Whew!!.. Whata' way to Start-the-Day!..
Wow ! Do you happen to recall what brand of heater it was ?The only time I really panicked was when a heater exploded. I got a call at work that my house was on fire and rushed home with this sick feeling that my animals were dying and home was destroyed. The fire department met me at the front door and gave the all clear...thankfully the only damage was black soot on my ceiling and the wall behind the tank. I don’t use heaters anymore because of that. I live in Houston so there’s really not a need to have a heater most of the year... I actually struggle to keep the tank cool enough. No more heaters, I just keep the house a little warmer in the winter when it gets cold and watch the temp closely.
I honestly don’t remember since it’s been about 15 years ago....it was a glass heater that I was running in my African cichlid tank. It scared me enough to get rid of my tanks and leave the aquarium hobby until just this past year.Wow ! Do you happen to recall what brand of heater it was ?
Good luck, prayers being sent your way.I am going to the cancer center on November 18th. Ask me after I am done.
Fish tank stuff you act calmly and quickly to save the animals. Same with fires and when the car is upside down.
I guess I have been through some stuff.
Yeah that wouldn't end well.If my floor failed and my tank ended up in my basement, then I would panic.
What is it? A bubble in the silicone?Just found this tonight...I’m panicking.
It’s the silicone separating from the glass, this is a sign the tank is starting to fail. It’s a known problem with Red Sea tanks.What is it? A bubble in the silicone?
