Great old movie from the 70s or 80s, but… In the last year I have taken two short work trips this covid crazy year and right now his short work trip to Belize. All my tanks and systems have been running smoothly over the last year with lots of home bound attention.
However on the first trip, a two nighter to NC the acrylic bracket the my hang on refugium snapped, tipping and pouring water onto the floor and causing the ATO with Kalk to continue to fill the tank. Miraculously my wife came in on it and was able to stabilize things before an all out catastrophe. But as you can imagine we had losses.
Second trip, an overnight to St louis the controller on the heater in my QT tank malfunctioned, running the temperature up to 35C. Alarm was going but no one was there to hear it. A precious little cluster of fish
Third trip, start yesterday with my son was checking on everything, and walked into the 29 gallon Prazi/quarantine tank had a crack across the entire front pane. Luckily only 3 to 4 gallons had leaked out, there were no fish in it, and he was able to drain and shut everything down.
So, seems like more than just odds, no?
Anyone else have similar experience?
By the way, I live in a rural setting in Georgia with only 5G for Internet, hence no monitoring systems available. Please Elon, help me
