My condo had to be bombed on a very short notice for mites and apparently cockroaches although I had not seen any but I keep my unit clean but the mites were certainly a problem. I wrapped the tank in painters tarp plastic, then cellophane wrapped that and taped over any areas that seemed still iffy then put blankets over all that and shut it down leaving only power heads inside on for circulation. I didn't lose everything but most of my sps bleached and lps died and all but one of my gobies died. I don't know how anything could've gotten in there if anything I think it may have been the heat that did it. Very upset, I was almost just going to say screw it I'm out after the huge losses from the storm I was finally back where I wanted everything but I know I'd eventually come crawling back. With my crazy schedule I've barely had time to work on/enjoy the tank as it is. I'm thinking I might just keep it as mostly a softy tank with a few lps at this point. This happened a few weeks ago just to prove the fact I haven't had much time to even check the forums, I've done a few water changes and my parameters are back to stable now it's just really upsetting to look at it at this point. If any one has any of the following they're willing to frag or sell on the cheap that would be much appreciated finances aren't too great at the moment: yellow fiji leather, green tree leather, jasmine polyps, clove polyps, low end zoos or palys, rics or other mushrooms, xenia, frogspawn/hammer/torch, bubble coral, alveopora. I'm located in Meriden but generally willing to travel to where ever. Thanks - Matt
