Oh I am sooooo sorry!!! [emoji24] It was beautiful! I would just move up to the new tank. I know exactly how you feel my 180 crashed from a 6 hr outage.This past weekend we had an unexpected late winter storm hit Boulder. We received 3.5 ft of snow, and our power was out for almost 48 hours. I lost a pair of Picasso clownfish, Yasha Goby, Yellow Pistol Shrimp, Fire Shrimp, and all of my corals. I was about to upgrade to a bigger tank next week, and now I have to start all over again. Here are a couple before and after pictures.
No, we don't. The house is heated by propane.I'm heating my 400 gall0n system with hot water from my solar hot water reservoir. Don't suppose you have hot water heat in the house?
No I'm not. What's MASC?I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm here in Denver and that storm was one of those what the heck moments for me. Do you belong to MASC? There is always someone willing to help
The local marine/aquarium club here in Denver. We have members all over the state though. I believe we have a small presence here on R2R but the main forum page is this. http://www.marinecolorado.org/?_=1464310175050No I'm not. What's MASC?
There are two ways you could heat your fish tank with propane. One is a real Rube Goldberg and involves using the drain tap from the hot water tank. The other is a small dedicated apartment hot water tank. In both cases you need to build heat exchange(s) which sit in your tank system somewhere like the sump. I built mine out of PVC. You need a small circulating pump and an electric valve that is controlled by your Neptune system. If you're going to go to all the bother of building it, you might as well build a cooling circuit using an old car radiator which will use up one more electric valve. One valve will be "normally on" and the other "normally off". The pump runs continuously and is either circulating heat from the hot water system or running thru the car radiator. My system keeps tank temp within 0.8 of a degree summer or winter. Use your fish tank heaters as backup and have them set slightly lower than your hot water system allows the temp. to drop to.No, we don't. The house is heated by propane.
