VickiPS Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Phil, this is almost surreal. You must be feeling like you're in a bad scary movie. Too unfair when you've tried to take every precaution, too. Gee mate, things will have to get better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 :P So one heater was old one and the other was on a faulty board? What's the chances of that happening? Gee wizzz, that is horrible luck! What a blow Sorry Phil ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yeah, the thing that gets me is that this time the barracks was completely warm with a new heater, and the tank with the fish this time got cold with 2 heaters. I dunno whats going on anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 3 big die-offs in the shed - you've had more than your fair share. If things happen in 3's, hopefully that's it for you. :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Thanks guys, i appreciate all the nice words and gestures. I guess it gives me a chance to go through and re setup everything and make sure it works properly before any new fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Yeah, i really should, am due for some good luck On another negative note, our little dog we have at work got hit by a car thismoring, luckily she wasnt run over but her site was ripped and she was at the vet but went into shock so they cant fix her up till she comes out of it. Poor little girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betta_Di Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Okay Phil - I give up You win the tank/shed of death contest. Now you can keep your fishies nd I'll try to keep mine too okay? On a more sombre note - I hope that this bad run is over and along with the 2nd heater in each tank I would suggest using a separate powerboard for the secondary heaters. Good luck with it all I look forward to actually coming down and seeing these barracks fully operational on one of our road trips. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 ok di, deal. no more dead fish EITHER of us! On some wonderfully exciting news, i havent checked the shed in a few days as i thought the fish were dead and hand gotten around to emptying their bottles, so i went down thismorning, to find that one that appeared dead, is actually ALIVE!! It is my very best and most favorite female its this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
