Setbacks suck but if you arent having fun learning/recovering then it just becomes work. And well... I hate work!

This has been a bizarre painful interesting part of having a tank. At least my initial steps to recovery were on the right track. Kinda proud I knew a little. Today the clown is sleeping in his normal spot. I'm taking that as a good sign.

Welcome!!!

The tank actually looks clear tonight. Gsp is starting to open. Acans puffing up. Zoa are all closed. Plates are puffing up. Mushrooms are hit or miss. 10g water change Wed. 5g last night. Another 5 or 2.5 tonight?

Whatever's easier imo.

I think a cocktail and a snack would also help.

 

[Katrina71]

Don't have to tell me twice.

Nope it was a complete accident. He used the safest dose. If it was too high it would have been cloudier and even formed snot.

The only thing was ,you have a tight lid and no skimmer.

@TikiBird was having the same problem in her tank with her urchin and fish. Just no carbon dosing.
The lid kid kept stopping the air , so the fish and urchin just fell on the sand. Air stone they recovered. It was frustrating to figure out

I’ve been thinking of my Vibrant incident while reading this thread. It was so confusing and upsetting. Thankful Salty was helping me. Sending you good vibes @Katrina71

Well dang. All my corals died. On the bright side I did finally build my 40b stand. Drilling the tank soon and sand and a pump and heater will be coming soon and then the 10g will be gone. Also my fire fish ended up dying after 8 months of me owning him. He did survive brook and a lot of stress with the hurricane

Ahh. Bummer Brett. What happened ?

 

[Katrina71]

@TikiBird yes I'm thankful we have some amazing smart people here that are willing to help! How long did your tank take to get back to normal?

 

[Katrina71]

@brett_schn what happened? And pics of your 40 build :) I could probably learn some things from your experience.

 

[brett_schn]

Ahh. Bummer Brett. What happened ?

Don’t know. I know there was a ton of stress from the hurricane other then that I’m not sure

 

[brett_schn]

I’ll get pictures now. I’m ordering the heater overflow sand and I’m getting a used return pump.

 

[Butitor]

Don"t give up... just learn from it! Welcome to R2R!!!
