A move is bad enough, but to have something like this happen OMG. I have room for anything if need be or any other kind of help. LMK

Seeing as that plan just sorta flew out the window, does anyone have an impeller could borrow for a bit? Or a skimmer? Sedra's are used on ASM's and Euroreefs, if anyone has one of these unused that I could borrow for a few weeks can you please get in touch with me?

Sorry to hear about your loss C and K. I lost 100% of my 140G. reef in August when a power surge tripped my breaker while on vacation. It sucks but it happens. The mark of a true "hobbyist" is that we can work through these down times and soldier on.
Good luck.
Dale.

I'll just be happy when my basement doesn't smell like dead clam....

Again, thank you everyone for your well wishes, and offers to help.

The tank has water in it again, we've completely changed the return plumbing and how we are going to generate additional flow in the tank in the future. We are going to have to re-cycle the tank, and that is the part I dread. There is still the smell of die-off in our basement, and its not leaving quick enough for me.

I've been researching on adding vodka as a carbon source to help the cycle along. I am still unsure of where I sit on this.

So right now its just a matter of tweaking the flow in the tank, and just letting it be. We've shut off the MHs and are reducing the T5 lighting period significantly. It sucks, but its the way it has to be if I, and we, want to continue in this hobby.
