What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh man im heartbroken for you. We all understand what kind of loss this is along with not knowing what tomorrow will bring. I hate that this happened to you, you've been through it lately.
Thanks John.
 
I'm sorry Joel, that's a nightmare. I hope it clears up quickly with no further losses!
Thanks JoJo.
Wish I knew what happened but I gotta let it go.

If it helps, those fish had a happy, and long life. You did well WELL above average. You did them right buddy.
 
I moved most of the rock and softies to the big tank
I've got the LTA in a yogurt cup filled with sand.
Don't know what else to do with her but no one is even looking that direction.
Got her in the corner of the tank.
I've got red sea blue bucket on the way.
No more chewy for me...

Thanks Mike.
My wife said the same thing when we buried them.
Those are the only fish I've ever buried.

I got a pair of clowns that are fairly old, I can only imagine how much it sucked bud. Thinking of you guys
 
Just popping in to say good night. Passed out on the couch.. got a cough and sore throat i havent been able to kick for like a week and a half now.... night folks!
I was wondering about you earlier buddy. Here's a bit of sunshine for you my friend.

That's a fact. And it's something we often overlook as hobbyists. We focus on the end more than the journey. These fish were expertly cared for and had a beautiful life. Well said Tom.

Ive buried fish. Straight up brother, youre not alone in any aspect of this.
 
@tbrown You remember the hunting land I invited yall too in the Mississipp River Delta? The other guys I hunt with went up there a couple days ago, and hit a cache of old glass soda bottles and some Native American artifacts! Just up the river on the same property, they found a dinosaur vertebrae and tooth. Also there is some great petrified wood. It was in this area that Barq's root beer was founded, so there are some cool bottles to be found here.
 
@Imrahilwjz Wes, your tank is coming along nicely. Are there any other corals that you have on your hit list to add?
I'm sure I'll add more corals eventually. My next goal, livestockwise is green mandarins , then I guess we'll see
