Taylorhardy1 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Unfortunately life has gone in all the wrong directions in the last few months. I was just laid off from my job this morning, to add to my already enormous list of life stress. About 3 weeks ago my dosing pump burnt up the alk pump and I didn't catch it for probably 2 days. Crashed my tank, and I lost about 4k in most of my nicest acros. After the 5k in losses from aefw earlier this year, I've been pushed to the point of needing a break for a while. I apologize in advance for the potato quality photos, I will try to get out my DSLR and get some better photos later this week. I understand I won't get anywhere near the retail prices I picked the corals up for but I would really appreciate a little help recuperating some of the amount I've invested. First up is a greened out multi branch jf homewrecker frag. I got this piece about 2 weeks before the crash, and it was one of 2 tenuis that survived (out of 13 total) It lost almost all color, but has returned to a bright yellow/green and the purple/blue tips are coming back in. I believe it will quickly return to its full rainbow of colors with some time and care in a healthy tank. Asking $400obo Next is the LRO candy apple Bonita. Shows a green/gold base, pink and orange coralites with red polyps. I paid $400 for this chunk, would like to get $300 obo. Next is an orange acan colony I saved about 8 months ago. It was about 2/3 it's current size, and color was quite washed-out. It's got some yellow coming in on a few polyps now, could turn out really cool. Easily 40+ heads, about 4" across. Asking $125 obo Next is a jf devils brew favia. Really nice colors, 30+ eyes. $75obo Next is an LA Lakers tubinaria-$30 Og 500 dollar efflo frags-$10 Ora tri color valida frag-$15 PC rainbow encrusted frag plug-$10 Kryptonite candycane frags-$10 each Hydnophora frags-$10 each Wwc splatter hammer frag-$20 Purple/green hammer frag-$10 All prices are obo. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least you know you have company - lost all of my SPS to what appears to be a weird heavy metal contamination. Not that I had a collection anywhere near yours 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I had a collection anywhere near yours 😞 I saw some stuff about your crash. Sorry to hear man... My alk crashed to 4.7dkh when I caught it. I had already lost about 50% of my acros. Calcium spiked to 710. Ever since I brought things back to where they need to be most of my corals are doing great. Out of the 44 acros I had in the tank before, I think I have 14 now. Lost a jf beach bum monti, and some other high end sps too. I still have a few skeletons in my tank from some pieces I was super proud of. Can't bring myself to remove them yet.

Taylorhardy1 Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'm not sure if I'm gonna get out of the hobby entirely for a little while, or if I'm just gonna take a break from acros. This piece right here is the one reason I can't decide. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuttleFishandCoral Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sorry to hear this. I would recommend staying in the hobby and let things settle. A lot of us know what u are going threw and it is something I hate to see. Maybe just get a break from sps and see how u feel in a couple of months. Btw love that Wellso, wonder where u found that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
