Hi all
Just started my first marine tank and having a ball.
Everything has gone well for the last 8 months, but 3 days ago had my first mishap.
My heater gave up the ghost, allowing my water temp to drop to 16 deg.
I nearly had a heart attack, my fish were on the brink.
Luckily I had a spare heater, I also put 10L of O R water to boil in a pot (it was the quickest way to get my water temp up).
My fish have have not been feeding, they seem disoriented and unable to swim normally
I have 1x blue tang, 1x yellow tang, 2x clown fish, 2x purple and yellow blenny and a host of invertebrates.
If anyone has suffered the same experience and has advice for me, please let me know.
In trouble
