rappo Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Lost quite a bit of my tank yesterday and was already considering taking a break from the hobby. Taking this as a sign, so I want to get the livestock rehomed ASAP. Please take it all as a lot. $150 East Vancouver, WA (Burnt Bridge Creek - 98682) Here's what I know is still alive: 2 small bubble tip anemones 1 Haitian anemone 1 feather duster worm 2 Fighting conches a handful (probably more than a dozen left, but let's say 6 just to play it safe) Trochus, nassarius, bumble bee, nerite, ceriths snails a few zebra and red tip hermits 1 electric blue hermit 1 halloween hermit palm sized branching rock with mushrooms (6-7 heads) palm-sized zoa rock, partially broken in two 3 large pieces of rock (enough to make a little ledge/arch in a 25 gal, don't remember the precise weight) Hawaiian Black arag-alive sand There is some GSP and xenia on some of the rock, easily removed if you don't want it. NOTE: the rock has bristleworms. I know some hate them, some love them. I never minded them, but if you do you'll have to dry out the rock or invest in something to eat it. The following are in the "I can't find them; might still be alive, might not be" camp (so plan on not, but could be a bonus): 1 scarlet hermit 1 tuxedo urchin tiger pistol shrimp a gorgeous nudibranch that appeared out of nowhere 2-3 weeks ago despite me not changing a single thing in many months. Looks just like the photo of Hypselodoris infucata on wikipedia? The tank is a Waterbox 25 penninsula + AI Prime HD, I'll be listing that separately after I get it emptied. Feel free to reach out to me if you're interested in that and don't mind waiting. and here's the nudi because it was so interesting: Edited June 21, 2022 by rappo added photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm not 100% certain, and this is going to sound a bit crazy, but my only theory is Dr Tim's Waste-away gel. I haven't made any notable changes or additions to my tank in a while. I had a stick of the waste-away gel kicking around so I put it in on Friday. Saturday night I noticed one of my clowns acting strange and eventually dying, but everything else was fine so I thought it was a fluke. Yesterday I woke up to all the fish, shrimp, emerald crab, etc dead. Most of the snails and hermits survived, as did the nems. I haven't had time to test and at this point I'm just going to throw in the towel for now. [and good to (virtually) see you again!] Edited June 21, 2022 by rappo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
