Hi all!
I was sound asleep and started hearing Inkbird beeping in my dream. I woke up to find my one month old Aqueon Pro 200W heater had died (second time this has happened recently) and my reef was down to 76F. While installing my spare WC heater half asleep, I kept hearing a squeaking noise. I saw that my return chamber water level was high so I checked my ATO reservoir but it didn't dump. Eventually I took my return pump out and found a Astraea snail jammed in the intake. I can't run a pump strainer/intake guard or my pump wont fit.
TLDR: Heaters fail on or off, snails are stupid and all of this happens when its inconvenient.
