my little reef by matt

"Well think I might be going a different route with my tank, I have been fighting heat issues and can not afford to keep loosing sps and buying a chiller is out of the question. So I think I might be doing more lps from hear on out going to keep the sps I got still. Hope all goes well with the ones I have seeing they are not cheep wish me luck on everthing with this tank"

Heat issues and chiller is out of the question but you can change direction and buy lps coral instead of sps??????? Good luck man in all seriousness I wish you the best. You don't need luck just do the right thing whatever that is for you. Hope your situation improves.

Ok dad, I'll do what you say
 
I have to pipe up here. When you take ownership of living creatures that have no say in being put in captivity you really need to take some responsibility for their well being and environment. When you have a heat problem that will and has already led to the demise of your livestock you are responsible for fixing it. If you don't have the financial means of making it better then do something else to give your coral and fish a better place to live.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt here that you do care about your livestock outside of the ac ideas already posted take advantage of this awesome community and see if people can house your stuff until you can get your situation more stable or sell it and come back later. It really is upsetting to see someone's tank just slowly die when something could've been done about it. Imagine putting yourself in a overheated box and being stuck in it. That would suck please consider how that would feel for your livestock.

As much as you are right about what you say there is a polite way to voice your opinion if you really want it to be heard buddy ..

We are all doing something we shouldn't by keeping the creatures of the ocean in captivity. Are we really providing the fish/corals what their true home would have offered ? His problem is just a butt terrible than us :) he is trying to figure it out or he wouldn't have posted it here ..

Figured I was about as polite as one could be but apparently wrong on that.

I never said anything about providing their true home or what we are doing is wrong by keeping fish and coral. IMO you get them you're responsible for their welfare but everyone thinks different and are entitled to.

XJ_Matt i threw out a solution to get you through this and I would be happy to participate in that solution myself as I did for a member last week.

Anyways I said what I had to say and I wish everyone well. :)
