I just had a tank delivered , and I opened my garage door and the delivery man just brought it to my garage. I didn't even have to ask. Just ask your driver if he will, if he says no or he can't offer them a little cash, I'm sure they will the

Love the tank! You should do another fts with your daughter in it like last year.

Tank currently crashing. Not sure what is going on. Big water change in progress. Pictures are 3 days apart.

fishface NJ · Oct 3, 2020

Did you check parameters, your equipment (eg heater stuck on/off, leaking voltage), did you add new fish/corals/live rock, anything died?

kdino · Oct 3, 2020

Yes, everything seems in check except the salinity. Was at 28ppm. Appears may have been an ATO mishap

kdino · Oct 5, 2020

Complete tank crash. All SPS gone, 18 golf ball to baseball sized colonies and frags, bone white.

All that is left is ticked off LPS, NEMS, ZOAS, AND JBs. And they aren't looking hot either. So disheartening.

Acros · Oct 5, 2020

I feel you. I had the same happen to me. I lost all my corals. I had a light outage for 5 days and a big temperature swing.

I wonder how much of it was from the salinity swing.

Bcheek · Nov 6, 2020

Any updates? Hope you've had some recovery at least and didn't lose everything

Blutspitze · Nov 10, 2020

So so sorry to hear about the crash, @kdino :( . That's awful. Have any of the LPS, nems, etc., been able to recover even a bit?

Dj City · Nov 10, 2020

Sorry to hear this.

That's a heartbreaker.

Recovery wise the BTA's, Rock flower Nems and Zoanthids have made their way back. Only zoa i lost were spekled kraks which sucks. but other than that, all SPS, LPS are all GONE

I'm not gonna hit the "like" button for that.
That really sucks.

At least some of your coral survived.
Guess it's time to rebuild.
