I lost a few corals a couple of weeks ago ( one of my favourite colonies), But then again, I went away for 10 days. Then this week one of my frag return pumps quit (mag7), a few hours later the other frag return pump quit (another mag 7). It comes with the hobby though. Thought about throwing in the towel.....it also would be so much easier to move if I threw in the towel. Believe it or not, it's my wife that might not let me throw in the towel :eek:

There, it's vented :lol:

Ironically just after I posted this thread my countertop that my tank is on now started to creak. My counter must have just decided to "settle" and about half my rockwork just tumbled over barely missing my clam and my acro frags.

I need a bigger tank....and a new stand...

That's what you get for tempting fate, Michika. :lol: It's like saying "Shutout" with 2 min. left in the game or I never get into accidents before a long road trip. My friend Matt told me that he had never had a leak when we were discussing his tank/sump set-up & of course, 2 days later I got a call about how his hose let go & 30+ gallons were lost & now the downstairs tenants are very pleased with his tank above their heads :evil:

Yup. I've been meaning to put together some sort of holder for the line, but I've never gotten around to it... I really should do something :confused:

Just had one of my large colonies rtn, this was a really nice coral I got from Delphinus, he considered it a frag, I considered it a colony :cry:

Oh well....so it goes with the hobby.

Bummer guys. :frown: Hang in there though. It's cyclical ... or at least it has been in my experience. Things will get better.

Dez after you're moved and settled in, drop me a line and let's get that tank filled again.
