I came home Sunday after being gone for 4hrs and my 29gal was at 100degf and the heater was still running!!! :scared:
I unplugged the heater, started a 20% water change with my water reserve that I have made-up all the time, and placed a sealed bag of ice in the tank.
This slowly got the temperature was down to 85degf in 2.5hours and in 4.5 hours it down to 78degf.
I lost two blue legged crabs and an engineer goby by the time I found it.
Could I have done anything different?
