    Some of you may have read that my tank overheated and almost everything in it died a couple of weeks ago. This is a tank that has been up for over 15 years. I decided, with the help of some of you here, to keep skimming, do water changes, remove the dead and dying, and see what happened. Things have gotten better. A few button polyps that I've had for many years are alive, my snails and crabs survived, and today, a hatch of pods is covering the glass. I take this as a good sign, and I guess now I'm going to have to get some more life in my tank.

    I spent two days getting my AC Jr. program right, and now I'm sure it's good. I've decided to stay with my 400 lights for now since I have them and like the look. My dead chiller has been resurected, so I proceed there with caution. My lights will go out if the tank overheats, something I've tested. My temp is stable, and my fan runs much less. Because of the noise, I'd rather have it as a secondary cooling measure.

    My tank is definitely not dead, so I'm going to start following ads for frags with some interest. My next step is to get my rock work where I would like it to be.

    Thanks to all of you for your help!
