Sorry to hear that Murph.

I have a maroon or a clarki clown you can have (free) once things settle down when you get back. Only if you're interested of course.

Hey Murph sorry to here that. That happened tome years ago when I moved both tanks to my big tank. I lost ALL my fish day after day. Its a sick feeling. Anyways if you need anything or anything housed for a bit let me know. Ben

Sorry to hear about your loss. We've all been there at one time or another. Now would be a good time to let your tank go fallow for 6-8 weeks. I know how hard it will be to look at a fishless tank, but it will be worth it in the long run.

Back in the 70's we lost all our fish to disease, including our first marine fish that we'd had for several years. All of our 14 tanks were saltwater and, even isolated from each other, it spread from tank to tank. Airlifts in use then probably enhanced the ability of the spores to become airborne and infect distant tanks.

Hey Murph,
Sorry to hear about your fish. It's tough when you have to watch them go so quick and can't do anything about it. I only have a six-line so I've been lucky with salt but in my discus days I lost six in as many days. It blew. I'm leary of discus to this day, although I hope to set-up a planted discus tank in the future sometime. My condolences bro.
