That's devastating, your collection was amazing. I'm sure it will be again with time. Hopefully you know the cause so you can attempt to avoid it in the future.

A very sad day indeed! Hoping to see the devastating loss inspire you to move forward, stronger and wiser. Sometimes a step back allows a giant leap forward. Sadly, I too know the pain, you are not alone. My crash helped me to come back, stronger and more determined.
Cheers

Sorry to hear. Glad to see you're not giving up and that you will be rebuilding the collection. hope you were able to pinpoint the cause so you can make sure to avoid it.
Good luck with the rebuild.

Thanks everyone for the kinds words, while I did lose a large portion of my collection I did not lose everything. This gives me an opportunity to recreate my collection and cherry pick even more stellar pieces to keep.

Now back to the regularly scheduled Eye Candy!

From the depths of my vault here comes the most insane Tenuis that I've been able to get my hands on!
It's definitely not everyday that you stumble on a piece of this caliber, Bright yellow like a yellow tang with awesome orange corallites.

Wow, so sorry to hear about the crash. I can't imagine losing a tank like that. Your collection was truly spectacular.
Hopefully you had enough backups with friends that there were no total losses. What happened?

Can you share what you think happened that caused the losses? That yellow tenuis is a beauty.
From what I can deduce I believe the crash was due to an error of my new digital refractometer. Essentially I think the tank’s salinity drifted with each water change and over time became too salty. I’ve since corrected this issue and I’ve gotten things back under control.
