I unfortunately have to report that neither the male or the female crosshatch made it. They both died within 24 hours of each other.
And then the Speedway DC pump on my 4-way Ocean Motions that runs the full 10.5ft of the tank died. Then there was the flooding...and then the water bans.
I have quite the cyano outbreak from rationing my water changes, pretty much I had to judge; water change with a limited supply of RO/DI given the emergency situation or not. I chose not to and the cyano got ahead of me. Bad choice, but it was the right choice at the time given I had no idea how long I'd have to top off from my reserve.
Here you can see the good stuff happening in my tank; clam growth and lots of it. This photo is nearly 3 weeks old already. The growth is wonderful. I just keep focusing on enjoying what I do have; happy fish, growing clams and SPS with no RTN or STN happening.
