i witnessed that happening to my girlfriends 28 gallon bow tank recently.i'm very sorry and understand.someone prank called the electric company with all her personal information and said they was her land lord and that she moved out and that they needed to shut off her electric.we stopped back 4 days after to find everything dead.her liverock is in my sump and i have a small cluster of her zoos that made it.this hobby can be tough sometimes.i wish you best luck restarting your tank.

That's devastating mate.I know what you mean about the heat.I've been lucky so far but have copped it in previous years.If I remember,you sent me a link for a chiller on E-Bay last year.Hope you can get it back on line.If you're interested,a friend of mine has started getting livestock from Groodt Islandt and the Arafura Sea. | |
