After the power flash we had last week in Tomball my controller took on add twist. The controller failed to regain communication with the EB8 and instead of defaulting to fallback off, it allowed the heater port to stick on for 24hours, Tank went to 90 degrees, discovered Neptune systems had disabled SMS messaging a while back and I had never had to use it until now :/. Lost all my sps and shrimp and 1 flame angel . Everything else was fine but the nutrient spike allowed for an immediate bubble algae bloom....double wammy. Did a 50% water change and a lot of cleaning, tank is looking good and the rest of the corals are all recovering. Word to the wise, setup a backup temperature controller on any heaters that do not have a built in controller. I didn't think I needed to with the apex controller, but I was wrong.
Shameless plug, if anyone has a few stix in the rack they care to let go of cheap to help me rebuild from scratch I'd greatly appreciate the assistance. I don't mind growing nubbins either!
