Warning! Feliway diffuser (maybe) caused a partial tank crash

[Hannahhh]

Just a warning for those of you with cats. I used a feliway diffuser in the same room as my tank and lost a lot of corals. Its possible the problem wasn’t from the diffuser, but I couldn’t identify anything else. Once I unplugged the diffuser, the corals that were still alive stopped getting worse. They’re slowly coming back now. It was super depressing to loose so many corals that I’ve spent years saving for and accumulating. My tank looks quite empty and drab now, no fun to look at, and I’d like to prevent anyone else from going through the same problem.

Sorry that you had to experience that. I never user any type of aerosol or spray anywhere near my tanks. Hell not even in the other rooms adjacent to the tank room.

Ugh tank crashes are the worst. We have used these in the house and not had issues, but they were not in the same room as the tank. Now we just have a psycho bengal cat with no diffuser.

Ah I had a bengal years ago, tons of energy!

Interesting, I have 4 of them in use, and no issues for me, so if your case is the case I'm assuming proximity is the key.

It’s always possible the crash was from something else, but I have no idea what else it could be.
