Thanks a ton for your sympathies everyone, and whether or not I ever take anyone up on shipping me free frags if I cover shipping it really does mean a lot. Especially when it is coming from people whom Ive never even crossed paths with that I know of on the boards. One thing i will do differently in the future is to make absolutely positive that every coral I am particularly fond of will be alive elsewhere waiting for me in the event of something like this.
Ive been pretty generous with people with whom I have traded and sold corals to in the past and will be able to salvage some pieces that came from my tank in the first place and that will be a nice place to start.
My 90 is ready to go already. It was a BB tank with sps only so I pretty much just did a 20% water change, pulled the dead fish and snails out, skimmed the heck out of it and its good to go after i do a couple tweaks to the plumbing.
The 225 is starting to do that new tank syndrome thing but i dont expect it to last more than a couple of weeks max.
Here are a few more pics. This morning I finally took the remaining skeletons out of both tanks and took one last pic of the total carnage to remember it and keep me humble in the future. This was my first signifigant loss since Ive began. My only regret is the LE and rarer coral acquisition rampage ive went on in the last few months. Im wishing i would have waited until now to do so. LOL
First pic- 225 pre boil. Second pic-225 this morning.
3rd pic- self explanatory
oh....and on the bright side........my monti eating nudis will be much easier to get rid of now.
