I’ve had this tank running for well over a year now. It has had a some serious mood swings. It looked great. I neglected it. It looked bad. I did right by it. It looked good. Then it went very bad. It grew gha like I was farming it. I harvested. It grew. I harvested. It grew again. Then one day I got cheeky and decided to really clean it up. I did too I cleaned it up really good. The next morning most everything in the tank was dead ;Sour
I’ve kept reef tanks for over 15 years. I’ve had things die before, not this much at once mind you. This one really took the wind out of my sails and I just turned everything off but the return pump. I didn’t test or try to figure out what happened, I just quit. Moved the tank to a different room and just left it for a few months. Wife wouldn’t let me sell it. She said I’d be back and wish I hadn’t if I did.
Well..... I’m back. Turned the light back on. Did a big water change. Cleaned it up a bit and here it is.
I had put all survivors from the mass die off and put them in what was my quarantine tank. Some star polyps, a few zoas, a mostly dead hammer, and one 10 year old pj cardinal. Plus a few crabs n snails. I put a few of them back in this tank to see how they do. Not the cardinal though. I’ll wait. He’s happy where he is.
This was a couple of weeks ago. I will list what little equipment I have and add some more pics soon. Maybe this time I won’t murder everything!
