Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hey, thanks all! I’m not bummed, surprised yes, but I’ll just get the water back to normal and begin again and soon I’ll be begging people to take birdsnest frags off my hands. Lesson learned, I’ll move forward. At least it wasn’t a super rare and expensive coral like my gsp ;) .
 
Also, sorry I haven’t been active tonight, my daughter and her fiancé came over when I got home.

Family times very important! Glad you had a nice evening.
 
Thanks guys. The first threat was last night and they still haven't found out who and where they're coming from. I am really hoping that tomorrow they've caught the person(s) that are doing these threats so tomorrow won't be like today
Oh jeez Luis, I didn’t know it was that bad! I’m praying for you buddy!
 
Ok Luis, disregard anything I said about birdsnest care. I came home to find this! The only thing I can think of is my wife used a deep cleaner on the couch next to it and the chemicals got into my tank. I changed out the carbon and an going to do a large water change tomorrow. There is one healthy branch I’m going to frag, if not, thanks to me, my lfs has a lot of frags. Set backs happen, just going to roll with it.

Oh Kev.....:loudly-crying-face:
 
@WalkerLovesTheOcean do you have something to defend yourself and your family with if it comes to that?
Well this is when I am not around my family. This is happening at where I am during the day. The reason I am not giving much info is because I like to keep most of my life off forums where anyone can see at anytime. It's not that I don't trust yall, it's just I like to keep my info off public online spaces. Really the only time I share things is when I want to talk about them to make me feel better, like I did when my grandfather and dogs died, and today. But sorry, that's kind of off topic I just wanted to get that out there.

But yes I have things to defend myself at home. Luckily we've only had to have them ready once, when someone broke into our garage and robbed us.

Just keep yourself safe Walker, don’t make me come up there with my arsenal!

We are always here for you no matter how or what you share.
We are family!
I also completely understand and I'm behind you 100 percent.

Whenever you need to talk, we are here.
