update time i guess


so this tank has seen some major changes some good and some bad .

iove had to tear down this tank and reset it up from scratch three times now , all because of the digitate hydroids, i was for certain that throwing out my rock and corals would cure this but it hitchhiked back from some coral i didnt have the heart to toss.....stupid decison and now i had to toss the rock out again along with any remaining corals

to add to the stress i played the russian roulette too many times with fish and i recently added a flame angel and flame wrasse from the same order to my tank and it wiped out my fish, went from 26 fish to 12 in a couplle days, right now all my fish are in treatment and the tank is fallow untill fall.

out of all my fish the only ones saved were my flame wrasse pair, lawnmower blenny,scooter dragonette, 3 clowns and 3 cardinals and my melanarus wrasse and peppermint hogfish.....the rest lost i was lucky to save the ones i did by acting fast and setting up a 100g treatment tank........honestly i dont even feel like adding fish back to the display as its a nice calm look so im still deciding if i will keep the fish i have left or not


all my highend corals are gone , i managed to pull the zoas out a few months ago before they got infected but all my sps, lps and rock are garbaged.


heres some pics of how the tank sits now, simple layout simple corals nothing fancy.

debating on whether or not to get the new ati fixture in replacement of my radion pros im not feeling them and having a hard time finding reasons to tell myself why im keeping them lol


recently pulled out all my sand as well with all this hassel...






















with the mass loss of corals,rock and now fish we are deciding what route to take with the tank untill we come up with some ideas its going to sit idle and do its thing.....wasnt a total write off i saved my gorgs which didnt seem affected by the hydroids same with my hammer coral and my tube anemone.


some ideas we are thinking:

adding a moray eel as the only occupant

adding seahorses and changing the tanks design completely

doing either a frogfish or scorpion fish as the only occupant

going freshwater and adding two of the ugliest gold fish i can find( ok not gonna happen i know lol)


cheers

denny
