Show me your dried skeleton collections!

Ever time I visit my brother in Key West I tell him that he has killed more coral than a crown of thorns starfish. I will ask him too txt me a photo of his mound of death.
 
I tell my mother that if I die Leo can have tank and equipment but no CORALS:facepalm: He will kill what I have been growing for over 10yrs in days:uhoh2:

How did he lose all those? Must have been some kind of crazy turn of events...I mean LPS corals dont die easily...clams and SPS yes...
 
not to many deaths in the two years i've gone reef and all were lost in the first 6 months due to poor lighting

He didn't lose them :uhoh3:he killed them and I don't think that's all of them. He visited me and saw my tank and said I want a reef tank he means well he just does not have time. He runs a business and has a family . I have a business also but no children and no more wife :dance:
 
haha nice thread

I saved my skeletons too. I will post a pic when I get home.

It does look like I had a nice SPS reef and decided to add crown of thorns stars bec I wanted to watch them eat

I like the brown bottle at the botton of the picture. ......Maybe he dosed the whole thing including the bottle.
 
i have encountered 2 different kinds of SPS smells.

the tank was a 240gal. (96x24x24)
i had a chemiclean malfunctions…. and lost every SPS and clam…..
 
had some green slime algae growing, so i did a water change and siphoned the sand (i have a shallow sand bed) and then dosed chemi clean. on the morning of the second day (its a 2 day treatment) i woke up to that milky white picture and my house smelled like death…..

(i have over 350gal of water volume with my clown breeding tanks and what not tied in, and so i dosed a full bottle because it technically would be a lesser then recommended dose. and thats what happened)

They never really had a chance, did they? LOL

I throw mine away so I can continue pretending that I never killed any.
