Again Doug my heart goes out to you...I am so, so, so very sorry for you. I admire your ability to rebuild though and get your baby back up and running. So glad Laurie still came down, says a lot about her as a person...way to go Laurie, I know he probably really needed the wonderful moral support.

I will be here to watch the rebuild... I hope you get all the support you need, sorry all I can do is give moral support. Are you going to use any of you dead corals in your aquascaping? (that's what most reef rock is right?) Or do you not want any memories of what happened?

Dude! I found a positive thing that could come out of this!!!! Since you are missing a few pieces of coral and a few fish here, you should do a tank upgrade now!!!! Take advantage of this! You can totally do it now.

Am really sorry to hear about the crash. I can understand being so overwhelmed and am glad that you had help and support. Hope your rebuild goes well. I will be following.

Those pictures are heart-wrenching man I could barely read that. I think I can imagine what the tank meant to you and following something like that I'm relieved just to see you post to your thread again. We all know you *can* rebuild the glory but again i'm relieved to read you're going to. Good luck!

Terrible! It hurts to see pics like that. I feel so bad for you Doug.

Good on 'ya for getting back in the saddle after such a horrible setback. Shows courage my man!

Thanks Leah.

Doug I enjoyed my visit with you, especially giving your "butt" a kick I'm glad we got the tank aquascaped, however it's kind of you to say my skills (at least when it come to aquascaping ) are up to par when I know I suck at it! Good thing you have mad aquascaping skills, I really like how the rock's set up, now get on those pic.'s so everyone else can see

Good on ya Doug, wish I could have seen your tank before in person before this happened but can't wait to see the progress on the re-start.

I came really close to getting over there but I had too much going on whenever it made sense to visit. I'm going to make sure I see version 2. Even if it means crouching outside in the bushes one night.
