I'd buy those off the $10 frag rack at my LFS ... what kind of lighting will they require to thrive in my tank?

One of my favorite things is a good pan seared steak. Screaming hot cast iron skillet and a steak. It regularly sets off all of the smoke alarms in my house. I've never turned off any of the tanks while smoking up my house, and never seen any effects good or bad to the tanks.

Curious as to why the oven door locked? Mine can't lock unless it is in self clean mode, or I lock it manually.

Smart to turn off protein skimmer. Not sure it would have hurt anything, but hey, better safe than sorry.

Gotta let the daughter learn sometime. I have had my share of oops in the kitchen. It is how we learn!

My daughter made a homemade apple pie... Which our oven decided it wanted to eat all on its own. It locked and started blowing smoke.
Any other Ideas other then what I did below?

In a panic:
Opened all the windows.
Turned on the whole house fan.
Turned on the central heating and air fans on.
Turned on ever ceiling fan.
Pulled out Box fans and put them at the front door and garage door.
Turned off the tank completely.
Covered the top of the tank.
Thru an air pump outside with 2 air stones. Into the display.
Turned a “powerhead” on

Tank:
I run carbon all ready.
PH went from 8.2 to 8.10
Temp went from 25.1 c to 24.6c
Fish hiding
Polyps still extended
Zoes still open
Clam is totally sucked up in his shell.

I Plan on doing a 10% water change in the morning.
I'm really careful about things being sprayed near my tanks. It's the microscopic oils in the smoke. Run the carbon. Forget the water change . Run skimmer.
