Hello names Leland and as you probably guessed already im new..Ive had a marine tank for over 2 years recently about a month ago upgraded from a 55 to a 57 cube and just a few days ago purchased a Fuzzy Dwarf Lion and a Valentini Puffer....and my world came crashing down...first day kids unplugged filter...to plug in their game charger and i lost the lion...the puffer recovered he was doing great...Just literally went to go take a picture of my tank and i see him FULLY INFLATED and laying on the floor dead...;( not sure what happend...can they be scared to death?
 
Dang Leland, sounds like a classic tank disaster story you'll be telling the new reefers about later. I've had an experience like that before with my heater getting accidentally unplugged. Not sure those sorts of things can always be avoided man (especially with kids), don't be too hard on yourself. Do check out redundancy and especially tank controllers that email/text alerts. I had a big weight lifted off my shoulders when I purchased an apex and knew it would be keeping me in touch for that next disaster I'm never going to have (knock on wood).
 
That really stinks but just a good reason to try again and make sure as much as possible is kid proof. We've all been there.
 
lol ill have to look into that and yeah im trying to get over it but its sad Ill be replacing them soon. and Will be thinking about moving all my tanks to one room. thanks for the welcome!
