    Default heater exploded.

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#well one of my heaters exploded in the tank most of the corals are not looking so good. i quickly put together a 20 gal tank and transfered the coral to it. the water is really yellow i changed 25 gals last night and am going to change another 25 tonight plus i'm running carbon. what else do you think i can do to make it better? any ideas? this is a 55 gal tank.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    Water changes and carbon sound like a good start. I would just keep doing that until things clear up. A protein skimmer might help clear things up as well.
    How did it happen?
    What brand of heater was this?
    Be care full picking up the heater glass, OUCH!
