Well this week I found my Borb anthias dead at the bottom of the tank, he had pop eye and looked to be getting better was still eating and all just wouldn't come out of the rocks. Then today I found my new Sailfin tang stuck to the over flow which has a fish gaurd on it and the only place the gaurd was sperated from the overflow is where he was stuck dead.....Now I have toget a new Sailfin hopefully I can find one as pretty as him.....The borb I won't replace since $200 is a bit steep and I have SPS to buy....Any way just felt like venting a bit...I hate weeks like this in the reef world.

Sorry for your loss! That's like when I came home from a month long vacation this summer and all my fish in my 125 gallon were dead. :( They got ich while I was gone and the person watching my house didn't know what to do and didn't inform me until it was too late. 8 fish gone in just a month.

Dude! The Anthia's? thats sucks man, really sorry to hear about your loss.

Reminds me when my Helfrichi firefish went to train for the long jump in Beijing.

jumped over 10 feet away from the tank.
