I have been a long time lurker on these forums and had recently acquired a beautiful lined seahorse from a friend in a tank breakdown. I live on the gulf coast and went out every couple of days to catch small grass shrimp for him to hunt. I had had him at a tank at my work, and over the weekend we lost power for two days at my job without my knowledge. Came back to a nuked tank with everything in it dead. Pretty sure the tank got too hot and the condy nem died and nuked the tank. Wanted to post some pictures of the tank while it was good to remember him by. Enjoy.

Oh, sorry. That sucks.
Most likely it was an oxygen issue.
I never seen a nem "nuke" a tank but they do get blamed a lot. Just don't think it actually would have been the nem.

Gotcha yeah it definitely could be. Also I had a fan running to keep the tank cool but the a/c and fan were out and when I came into work the tank was at almost 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
