Tank crash

[McCrary]

Well, as the title says my tank crashed. I had a really busy end of the week (a chem test (on thurs), bio test (on fri), and a bio lab (wed) and chem lab (fri)). I didn't sleep wed night and only a few hours on thurs, so I wasn't paying much attention to my tank. Unfortunately both my Regal Angel and my Longnose Butterfly died. I don't know how they died or why, but the Regal had been in my tank for quite some time while the longnose had only been in there for a couple months so I am assuming he died first. Since I wasn't paying any attention to my tank I didn't notice that any fish were missing. I think the corals went on friday morning, but I am not sure. All I have left are some mushrooms, a single clump of zoas and a brown stag that is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. So I will be restarting the tank this next week, hopefully things will look better soon.

condolences. I dread the day.

The stag started to RTN so I yanked him.

Tanque Verde- Hopefully that day will never come.

So sorry to hear that. Blasted hobby- my husband says (of his model train) "At least when I'm too busy to work on MY hobby, nothing dies."

Dude, sorry to hear.

It does suck, but I helped a guy setup his tank and he has a lot of killer acros and montis, so I am going to run up and frag his stuff when I am confident in the tank again. I am also going to be using digital pH monitors and a controller to make sure everything stays right where I want it. I have always been a little liberal in my lighting hours and tank temp and everything. It may have come back around, so its time to get a little more religious about all the specifics. I am more upset about losing my Regal than anything. He had been in the tank for a while and ate very well, he will be very hard to replace.

Our coral (SPS and some soft) aren't real big, but we can give you a few frags if you would like some. Starting over stinks and if your a student, I would guess you aren't swimming in cash. Let us know.

Thanks for the offer it is very generous, I don't think that getting frags will be a problem, but the offer is still very much appreciated.

Your welcome. We wish you luck. Sorry again about your loss.

Scott and John came over to check out the bare tank and help me get things back together, so hopefully I can get things back in check and add some frags. Hopefully I will be able to get some pictures up when some frags are added.
