Saturday we went gaming for the day. Left about 8 in the morning, got home at 10pm. Sometime after we left, the 2 cats who insist on fighting apparently knocked the plug for the tank out of the wall. (It is way behind the BF's desk and hard to get to, but the spot the one older cat likes to hide when her and one of the other 2 are "having words")
Of course this was the first hot day of the season. So the tank was 86 when we got home. (10 pm mind you - who knows how hot it got during the day) Everything that crawls or swims was at the top of the tank gasping. Including all the pods!! All the corals were either drooped or closed. It was a mess.
I opened windows....got fans blowing on the tank....opened the lid. By midnight, things were moving.
Sunday morning everything was still iffy. Got the window units in, house is cool now. (Was staying 78 til the heat hit) Xenias are 90% back to pulsing. Stars peek out but still hide a lot. Brain coral is open but closes up if you look at it too hard. The Zoas are open and eating. Fish are all great. Snails and crabs recovered within a few hrs....
Params are good. Nothing died that I can tell.....
Anyone want a few cats!?!
