Well in a hurry to leave for the holidays I topped off my tank fed the fish and and THOUGHT I had adjusted my timers to cut back a little light while I would be gone for X mas. Well I got home 3am Sunday and wonder what the bright glow from my living rooms was, I had left my manual light switch on and my lights had been cooking my tank for over thee days and my temp was 83 deg.:smokin:
I guess I made it home before any real damage could be done no fish losses and other than some bleached and very angry zoas + algae on the glass I think i am no worse for wear. *SIGH* The only thing I have really noticed was some of my coraline algae seems to have died/bleached off on my LR I though that was a little odd I figured that the extra light would really set it off.
I am leaving again for new years but only a day and a half, but I will be sure the lights are on the timers this time!
Anyone else do anything bone-head that almost took their tank out this X-Mas season?:lol:
