Hello Everyone-
It's been a while since I posted. I went home for about a week for Christmas and New Years. I was nervous about leaving the tank for that long but it did ok during the time I was gone....it was the day before I left that it had problems
I have a heater that has a separate probe that senses the temp in the tank and turns the heater on or off accordingly. Unfortunately the probe had come loose and was not in the water...my temp was 85.7 when I noticed the problem. Luckily most everything made it through the temp spike without problems. Unfortunately the only thing that didn't make it was my big brain:
Before:
After:
So I was pretty bummed about that but happy everything else made it....happier pictures to follow

Danielle,
That picture of your brain dying is just so sad :sad1: I am suprised it died at 85.7, I thought Florida waters got that hot. Maybe it was because it rapidly got hot?
I do love your other pictures! Your porcelain crab is now my desktop

Re: A sad day
Re: A sad day
I was really upset about the brain because it had tried to go down hill on my once before and I did target feedings for about a week and it came back. It was only about the size of a quarter when I got the rock and grew to about the diameter of a tennis ball. I agree about the rapid temp change because 85/86 isn't THAT hot. I may rearrange the rocks a bit now because I now have the skeleton right in the front of the tank which depresses me each time I look at it.
Glad you like the pics. I thought the porcelain crab one was really funny...looks like it's a stick-up

sometimes a brain dying - if you leave it in with the right light and stuff, a baby starts to appear and thrive
