I've just moved house last weekend, and I've gone back over to my old house today to sort out my tanks and get them moved before handing the keys back this Friday. As soon as I walked into the house I was hit by a nasty rotten water smell, and as soon as I looked into my Jewel Vision 180 in the lounge I knew what the problem was, the damned heater had bust and gone mentally hot!
The glass was red hot to touch and the water itself was as hot as a freshly boiled kettle! The water was green, all the plants in there had gone brown and died, and what was most upsetting was the fact that my 2 Angels and 10 Harlequin Rasboras had literally boiled to their deaths! (
Everything was fine on Sunday when I was last over at the other house, any idea what could of caused the heater to malfunction? At first I thought maybe a power cut / surge or something, but the other 5 tanks were all fine and dandy and all timers etc all showing correct times.
I don't even think gutted covers it.
