So I went camping for a week with my family and friends...
I asked one of my close friends to top off the tank every few days and feed some prepared food I had left in the fridge. He tells me he did what I showed him but when I got back...
EVERYTHING (except my 2 clowns and a few hermits) has died!! All my corals (sps, lps), are bleached white! My huge kenya tree frag is now a white goop. Even my GSP's are gone!! My leathers and my cleaner shrimp are surrounded in a white cacoon type of thing. There is red algae on the rocks.
What could've happened???
Could've been the heat?? There was a fan on the tank 24/7 and it has never gotten above 90. Did he accidently put something into the tank?
Whatever happened, I'm a very sad person now...
A years worth of hard work and dedication down the drain!!
Does anyone have any advice on what to do next? Should I completly throw out everything.. rocks, sand and water and start from scratch all over again?? Can I spare the sand, and or rocks??
I haven't tested for any out of whack parameters - there is no point to
