What should all us reefers ALWAYS have on hand?

[Anonymous]

I came home to a 92 degree tank today. My a/c was on powersave and couldn't keep up with the heat today. Lost my pearl bubble and my frogspawn. my candy cane and green open brain don't look so well. Mushrooms seem okay.

I wanted to throw carbon in and do a big water change. Guess what. No carbon, no saltwater mixed. RO is running now, will have to wait untill tomorrow to get the carbon. and oh yeah, roomate used most of the ice out of the freezer.

I guess it took me this lesson to realize there are things I need to keep here at all times. What else do you all recommend?

Thanks.
Brett

FYI.

Great Bear makes RO water..

The green label Great Bear water is RO.

I always have 2 or 3 2.5 gallon bottles laying around.

They cost about $3 each and it beats waiting around for the RO unit..
