Default sad day

it has been a very sad mornin at my house,i returned last night from an amazing 4 days of salmom fishing in campbell river,leaving my wife in charge of my 5 tanks,with her never have even fed my fish before i was very reluctant but i went,i called her several times while i was gone just to make sure everything was ok.well i returned last night and everything looked great all fish/corals looked as healthy as when i had left,so i thanked and praised my wife.but i woke up this mornin to find all my fish dead, 14 amazing fish went down the toilet to fish heaven.no idea what went so horribly wrong.so needless to say my next post will b a list of everything for sale including 400pounds of beutiful live rock

That's terrible! Do you have any idea of what happened? Is there something that your wife isn't telling you?

Very sorry! I have been through a couple "total fish loss events" and I came close to saying "I'm done for good this time!!" each time. We feel your pain!! Good luck sorting it all out.

Are the 5 tanks plumbed together? Or did the fish from 5 separate systems die? Because if so I would have to say that is EXTREMELY odd.
