Default Big loss - sad day
I have been having trouble with my furnace lately and have been waiting for the furnace repair guy (who was supposed to show up yesterday and didn't). Anyway the furnace was working off and on but last night I decided that the house was just getting too cold overnight so I plugged in a space heater to keep the chill off. Apparently it was enough of a draw to trip a breaker that also happened to run all of my pumps and skimmer on my 190g FOWLR tank. It must have happened sometime after 9pm when I went to bed and so my tank had no water circulation until I got up this morning at 6am.
I am so upset right now - I lost both my angel fish (conspic and goldflake), Moorish Idol and both helfrichi firefish. My Blonde Naso Tang was gasping for breath but it looks like he will pull through. My maroon clown and my mandarin are fine and my anemones and inverts are all OK.
All I really want to do right now is just tear my tanks down and forget about reef keeping. This is a real loss to me. That conspic. angel and the goldflake were my two favorite fish, not to mention that apparently the conspic was one of only 2 in Canada.

I am truly sorry to hear about your loss Ruth
However, I think it would be more tragic to give up something you enjoy so much.
Once again, my deepest sympathy

Really sorry to hear that Ruth. It's hard to lose your favourite fish. I gave in to the temptation of shutting down my fowlr when that happened last year, but I'm glad I kept my reef tank going. Hang in there.

Oh no. That is so hard to take, I feel so bad for you. I'm so sorry Ruth. Please don't give up the hobby, take a breather if you need, but the hobby is better off with you in it than not.
