    AC is out, aquariums are almost at 90 degrees (except the one with chiller - thx God for chillers!). I've turned out the lights, adding aeration, I don't have any clip on fans - anything else I can do to cool them down?

      This has happened to me twice now in two years...I just kept doing water out and putting it in the freezer to chill. Also froze water in a gallon jug and floated like an ice cube... Everything made it...hope you have the same luck.

    I think my GBTA is on it's way to Cnidarian heaven. I have no idea why, it's just been all shriveled up for 3 days now, and it's foot hold isn't very strong. Any suggestions?

      Mine did the exact same thing a while back. I almost took him out and flushed him for fear of killing everything, but I didn't have the heart. After about 4 days he just puffed back up and is perfect. I hope you have the same luck.

    Am I the only one who gets super glue over every-friggen-thing when gluing a frag to a rock/plug? This time I managed to even get it on my son! Sheesh!

      Not just you. I got a little spot on the outside of my tank and later almost had a heart attack thinking it was a chip in the glass. I stared at it for 20 minutes then my son came over and just scraped it off.
