well to a major relief for me, the tank is recovering.  it was a LONG battle, way longer then last year and with a ton more casualties.  i even lost 6 fish with this wipe out. i'm down to maybe 10 or 12 sps from the 40 plus i had.  'im getting some color back in what i have left and some signs of growth again.  the tank overall is looking 'healthy' finally.  its been on this track for about 2 weeks i guess, with no losses or anything.  it is just REALLY bloody hard to think of the money i need to spend again to get it back to where it was.  i've decided this time though that i'm stickin to only frags, no colonies so i can place the coral exactly where i want it and not where it will fit.  through it all my GSP grew strong. 

 i even made a big frag rock out of it today.
