Tank has been unattended since august. Finnaly saw it today. Agter getting the kids to bed and shovelling the walks I figured I could see what is up. Reffugeium had 0 flow to it but this looks to be recent as the water is still high. Skimmer pooched and microbubbling, now cleaned removed one destroyed cerith shell still needed new impeller. Return pump, drasticaly reduced flow, no time to clean that today but I think its slowly getting pooched.
Remaining fish scopas tang and a few cardinals. Most sps gone.. Most lps.. gone my acans apparently were launching out of their sceletons at some ponint at least there are a few scattered survivors.. Zoas and palys.. some colonys totaly disapeared, a few thriving Xenia.. monstor sized. Grew up through a few of my sps choking them out.. Hydroids.. a few new patches on rocks they were not on.. Random pest anenemies.. only one huge apastasia in the refugeium..many ..manajoes in the display and a few of those mini bubletip bastards left too but they look scungy not nice like they used to. Pulled the zeo reactor out since.. there is no point.. then knocked my automatic fish feeder in dumping all the food In... Hoping the water for a waterchange will finish mixxing before she comes home and I am done here. Oh well it was nice while it lasted.. Think I am going to try to keep it in this state untill I can set up the next tank. Next build or even the fixing of this one will be lower maintnance.. try to avoid getting the sps bug and hopefully set up to survive up to 6 week shifts... The 7 foot is parked, I might still use it and the glass for the 105 is still sitting outside in the snow against the stand for the 7 foot, guess I will hoard that for future use too since it never got picked up. Happy new year! Last edited by blacknife; 01-01-2014 at 06:39 AM.

Sucks to come home to this
Sounds like it's time for you to bail out until you have more time to keep your critters happy and alive Happy New Year !

Working in Sylvan lake and renting a place.. Was going to start a small aio.. But asked the landlord if I could start a small tank.. I defined small as 10 to 40 gallons.. And got the green light.. I probably only be here another 10 months or so so I don't want anything to extravagant.. Just something to keep my feet wet... Where then I can finally shut down my 55 tank of most neglect

Half debating just relocating my whole tank here since asking the landlord went so smoothly... would want to either rebuild my sump or get a smaller sump and new return pump.. kind of want to go internal so if there ever is any plumbing problems it spills back into the sump.
Or stick to my first idea.. something small and simple.. Cube coral tank.. perhaps a few fish.. cube would probably be a in kitchen project.. any other shape,size would be bedroom.. headboard reef perhaps?

moved the tank to Sylvan today... forgot my ro at the other house.. so i guess it can sit the way it sits for now 3/4 full and packed full of rock.
3 pajama cardinals and 1 scopas tang, and a few snails are the obvious survivors.. remaining coral. a few random palys and zoa's, one frag of 15-20 nuclear deaths. 2 large chunks of xenia, one or 2 blue mushrooms a bunch of bright green rodaddactis mushrooms, 1 mini carpet nem, a few bubletip lookalike pest nems. and that is all of note.. I dont want to use the sump that i have, the tank is 36 wide and the sump is 42.. kind of want to finally skirt this thing in.. was debating just using the tote i used to move some rock but then my ato won't function... oh well.. ill get it figured out.. and those little fuzzy sticks will grow again

I think it would be safe to start shutting this tank down.
