In any event, you must have the patience of Job to continue after this roller coaster of a tank build. I'd feel like throwing in the towel if I had to go through this! I hope things settle down with your next one.

The three in the RSM did not show sick signs. My copperband, {of all fish}. bangaii & leopard wrasse seem to be all fine. The 35 was not running before. Contents are form the larger reef. I had to save what corals I could, especially the rack full I just brought back from Calgary.

I lost the male clown this morning. The female was giving him little pushes to get him moving. Mind you she always did that. Was a terrible morning for me. I sure hope the female makes it.

All my remaining rock is outside in a large tub with a couple of large powerhead. Will have yo go fishless for a couple months before use is another tank. Not mine, its for sale $200 for about 150lbs.

Thanks for the post.

No info. Hmm, wth happened??

[Doug]

I really have no idea Mindy. It started downhill for who knows why. The scopas developed ick. My water looked like crap. Checked every parameter. Either something got in there or problem with the rock.
Corals started to recede. Nothing stopped it. Water changes, etc. Ick spread. Moved my clowns to quarantine to try save them. Took stuff out t see if it could be saved. Ended up being the whole tank. All the corals that survived went into my 35g. Lost half of them over the next few weeks.
Clowns put up a good fight but lost in the end. I sat there and cried as they suffered. My copperband of all fish never missed a beat. Bangaii, fire fish, leopard wrasse and all inverts fine. Who knows. I tried using all my 35 yrs experience to turn it around or figure it out. BLAH. Just excepted it for what it was. DOH !!!!!!!!!
