The ReefBox Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 So sad news today. I wake up after being at work all night and find all my sps I moved to frag tank has rtn'd I have not figured out what happened yet........but I guess this will be a new start in every aspect of the term. Not what I was expecting at all but I'll be back and move on with the plan. Just bummed and not to mention the stench off all the dead coral. The missy is not happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Oh geez Brian that sucks. I can deal with the smell it's seeing all those beautiful pieces turning white. I was just talking to Jeff about this. SPS are heart breakers. If I had any of them I would cut you some frags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Man sorry to hear that bud never fun. So I guess I'll get the "fresh start " I was looking for. Good news is tank is ready to be picked up so heading up Saturday to get it. I will be looking for nice frags and mini colonies soon to get myself going again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackice Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wow that's a real bummer! Sorry to hear that. As much as it sucks the only thing you can do now is throw all those pices in the cal-reactor and use them to grow bigger and better stuff!!!???? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah I lost some pieces that I was really attached to. But I won't be the bigger debi downer.......it will just motivate me to do it even better!! So ill be hitting up my friends and theSPS ballers when the tank is ready!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JManrow Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sorry to hear about the tank crash. I don't even like to open threads like this. Did you have any temperature extremes? I know we will be seeing posts about the hot days coming up soon. Time for a fresh start and trying maybe trying something different.

The ReefBox Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah that's the only thing I can think of is the fish room door got closed and my missy forgot to open it I'll ck apex to see what my graph looks like. Secondly she just told me she cleaned windows with windex and cleaned dog pee off baseboards with 409.......so I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone......maybe this will strike a match under me and really dial this tank in and who knows maybe hold a meeting and frag swap!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bevo5 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Man, that blows. I've had aquariums for 20+ years and I've never experienced something as finicky as SPS corals. They just get pissed and that's it. Actually, they're a lot like Tropheus if any of you have ever had those - once one gets pissed and dies, they all die like dominoes. Bright side - at least I'll be giving you some cash for the stand...you can buy up all sorts of new frags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would be the easy thing but I got too much invested in the new set up and have high hopes so not given up yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsonmfg Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 [language filter]... I was hoping I wasn't gonna read the above. Sucks man, I hate losing stuff, especially for no reason of your own. Let me know when the tank is running, we'll get you popping again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
