Tank over heated, now what!
Ok, came home the other day and found that everything in the tank was dead. Touched the tank and it was hot! 99.5º So it looks like the heater malfunctioned, when I pulled it out I almost burned my finger, ran some tap water on the element and it sizzled. So my question is did this kill off the bio also? I am running a back of the tank Ref. live rock, Magicmud and Macro alge. Have had no problems with this setup. any feed back would help.

Re: Tank over heated, now what!
Get a new heater and slowly drop the temperature over the course of a few days. Don't go cheap with a heater. Stealth makes a good one. I use two on my tank- one set at 84 and the other set at 80 so if it broke down i would know.

Re: Tank over heated, now what!
Two smaller heaters instead of one large one will give you time to notice a malfunctioning heater...
