Well I got home two hours ago and my apartment smells like death , bleach , and warf.

Its going to take me a week atleast to clean the tank and start filling it over again .
Wires everwhere , equipment everywhere . Everything left to dry and crust .

They took my live rock out and put it in a bucket ... Well the water is more like slime and thick . It probably needs to be all thrown out now .

I guess when I told them to take the fish to the store and leave the tank alone wasn't good enough ... They had to take it a few steps further . Not impressed

Going up concepts soon to see my fish. ...

By the sounds of it, the rocks may have been removed to safely extract the fish with minimal stress.

Such a shocking post, I'm so glad that Concept was so excellent and saved your fish! I hope that your corals survive and everything goes up from here. I couldn't imagine something like this happening… the devastation you must have felt. Hugs all around and here's to getting everything back on track!

They could have just let you deal with it, and let all your stuff die... Id be thankful someone offered to come and help. I sure wouldnt be complaining about it. After all it isn't anybody else's fault. Sorry to hear about your tank. But remember they are just trying to help.

I agree with slyguy. The guys over at concepts probably had thought that since there were chemicals in the water. The live rock and water would of gone bad and the tank needed to be re cycled anyways? So assuming that they saved what they could.

Look at the bright side at least your corals and fish are alive. Go concepts!

The only work on our end was taking fish and corals in , we did give a list of things to do but I didn't think they would do it they really knew nothing about aquariums so I'm sure they were afraid to do anymore it's prob best they didn't do too much.

concepts gave my fish a home and I'm not complaining about that. thanks a million

what i was complaining about is i kept telling them to leave it all alone after the fish were out and they didn't. they didn't listen to a single thing i said . even all the wiring was a mess and i plugged in my wave marker that was hooked up to my pump power supply? not sure why all the wave makers and pumps were disconnected at the controllers and swapped .. now i may be looking at some equipment replacement. this is why i told them to leave it alone. ( the sitters not concepts)

anyways I'm 4 hours non stop in

it begins


equipment out and in a vinegar bath. one sump section almost clean



vinegar bath


live rock? this was left with no flow.. reason my house smells like warf
i threw some powerheads in it not sure if its to late. water was brown and slime


four hours in... sand removed. water mixing in the now clean sump!
getting close going to start adding water soon



it took a lot less time then i thought . even doing it by myself!
thanks everyone ... pink reef this was a fresh start only up for 2 months ( swapped from a two year tank) :P

Looks like things are slowly coming together. Id say your rock will probably be ok, but odds are everything on it has died. So your essentially gonna be starting from scratch and having to cycle them. Good luck
