Where is eeryone! Anyone with new pics? I'm on vacation for 9 days!!!! I'm so excited, now I can catch up on some well needed tank preps. I can finally set up the new overflow that has been here for 3 months!:eek1: I may need some of your expert advise on the best way to do this!

Well, I'm still not recovered emotionally from the major fish wipe out I had. Lost all but my velvet wrasse, cleaner wrasse and GSMC. Corals are doing great. Got an awesome colony of orange capricornis. Only benefit to losing fish, if you can see a bright side is that my water quality is improving! Well the ozonizer also has helped! I'll update some pics soon!

Bummer Cediss I had a little mishap here to came home one morning and all the power was off. Something tripped my gfi and the tank water was dead not good, now I see I need a generator just in case. I put the close loop and the return pump on a different circiut now so at least that won't happen again. I lost two fish, two sally lightfoot crabs my cleaner shrimp and five peperment shrimp. Sure hate killing my animals. Heres some pics.

Mie, thanks fort the update. I am so sorry about you loosing some of your stock. I know how it hurts, we buy them and want to do everything we can to give them good homes nd have a tiny part of the sea to watch every day. And we try so hard to keep them happy and healthy. When something happens we feel a little helpless I guess. But it looks really great! And switching it over should prevent that happening again. I think I will take before and after pics of mine today. Going to do the scaping today. And finally put on the new overflow. should help move this water more. Glad you are back with us.
Jason, looks really good, thanks for your update too, Do you have any problems with your Copperband,picking at your corals? I think they are so pretty. I had one years ago, but lost it to a huge carpet anenome. I was so upset when I saw it . Glad to see your back too!

Looks great Mako and Jason! I deliberately intalled my aquarium off the GFI for that very reason. But, I would like to have a generator as well. It really sucks to loose livestock. I'll try to update my pics later today! I need to replace my yellow tang, but I don't have the time to set up a quarantine. I hate having to take such risks, but I may just have to!
April, I tried crushed garlic cloves, but was not religious about it. I'll have to try the oil next time, if there is a next time. It was more than just ich though. I now have an ozonizer which should help!

If you have a Krogers, go to the vitiman isle, get the Kroger brand Natural Garlic Oil in the caplets. When you go to thaw the frozen food, use a pin to stick the end of the caplet and squeezeout 3-4 drops on the food, then mix it up and feed the fish. maybe twice a week for a while. wouldn't hurt to do it now with the rest of the fish, another GREAT product is Reef Vital DNA, and Pet Solutions has it on sale now too. that should be added before you add the fish, but still feed for a while the garlic, the garlic is also great to feed to the fish if they are not eating very well. They love it. Cheer up, you will be up and running again real soon.
