Spader Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I HAD a 10 gal with a pair of Neo. Pulcher Daffodils. I said HAD because my heater crapped out and rasied the temp to 96. They were fine this moring at like 8 and dead by 10am. Oh and to top it off they had just laid more eggs yesterday. I lost 2 adults, 25+ 1/2" fry and however many eggs. What a great start to my day. Any one in Edmonton have any Pulcher or Brichardi for sale? What a loss. :boom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Oh man, sorry to hear that. I had a heater break a couple months ago and fried my tank. Not fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Sorry to hear that. Perhaps you & Val can post the make of the heaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Mine was a Thermal preset compact. I had never really trusted these heaters as they weren't too acurate on the temp(it was always a couple degrees off). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyasa Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) That sucks. Sorry to hear about your loss. I had a similar experience a few years ago with a 20 gallon tank and a cheap comes with the kit heater myself. A friend of mine here in Calgary has some N. pulcher for sale. Let me know if you're interested. David. Edited April 12, 2005 by Nyasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spader Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Do you think this killed my bio filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSStile Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 My education in microbiology would make me say no. We used to culture stuff at about 95 -100 degrees, but I would still add cycle if I had some handy. BTW I have a sub male daffodil that is getting grief from the dom male lately because the dom male has finally decided to shack up with the female. You can have him, my contribution, if we can figure out how to get him to Edmonton. Regards Harold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
