So here's my update. I went on vacation and the nightmare happened .Snail clog my skimmer and I was gone for 8 days. left someone heavy feeding the tank due to all the fish I had. Now when I got back phosphates and nitrates were off the Charts. I couldn't see any hope so I try to do small water changes with the most I could then even 90% water change But everything died eventually after 3 weeks. sadly Lost a lot of money and a lot of nice pieces I know I'll never see again but I guess the other frag tanks and fish kept me in the game .So I'm gonna post some pictures of my updates on the new aquascape and some of the corals that I have acquired. This game ain't easy. thanks for looking

Man, so sorry to hear about the disaster, but I'm glad to see you're rebuilding. It seems like these issues always happen when we're away, right? It's a tough game for sure, but it looks like you're moving the right direction at this point. Best of luck with the rebuilding. I'll keep following along to watch this tank come back to it's glory!

Sorry about the tank issues. But you bounced back with a very nice system and set of corals still. Nice work.
