Starting over for the worst of all possible reasons
I have heard people say that its "œheartbreaking" when they have a tank crash"¦well now I know that's one of the biggest understatements I've ever heard. Complete and utter emotional breakdown is more like it. About a week ago I came home to a tank that hadn't had any circulation in days. Only the movement from the return pump. As I'm sure you can guess, that resulted in a complete loss of life to everything in my tank. There really are no words to describe what that looked like. I futilely tried to save a few of my fish and coral, but they were too far gone. I have no one to blame but myself. I was testing out the Jebo 25 I bought only to realize it was too strong. It was late at night and I was leaving out of town in the morning, so I disconnected it and went to sleep. I didn't realize I hadn't turned anything back on until I got home a few days later. It was like walking into a nightmare. Thank goodness my son was around to help with the cleanup"¦.I initially was gonna take a break, but honestly, I couldn't get my tank off my mind. So I plan to start again; I bought a couple pieces at my lfs today. With that being said im now looking for a few reasonably priced frags to get restarted. So anyone in the area that has a deal or 2 let me know. Thanks
