Bubbles Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 4/4 Update: Heater failure came home to 101 for temp. Lost almost everything except 2 hammers and most of the inverts. Will give second update tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no!!😮😮😮😮😮😮 Honestly I think of you are keeping lps and softies you’re better off without a heater as long as you’re not running anything in the garage. I have seen far more heater fail stories than my hammer got too cold and died. Sorry to hear that Kai. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash21 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Sorry to hear this Kai. Did you have a lot of fluctuations with your Heater? My heater is keeping a steady 79, since day one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Kim, I threw everything in my main tank when I got home. one or two might make it but time will tell. I had the heater unplugged and then when cable organizing it stupidly plugged it back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Wow - that is a bummer. Hope some of your pieces pull through. Heaters do seem to be the most deadly fail point short of a tank giving way. Good luck with the recovery! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
