All my fish died
Hi everyone, I am new to the reefing hobby, I've had my tank for about 3 months and everything was going great. I then got some coral frags from my local fish store and glued them in using Seachems reef glue. I woke up the next morning and 2/3 of my fish were dead and my wrasse was on its side...

my entire thread is designed for these posts, this happened yesterday when everyone was on the personal stuff. Notice how he is willing to change vs dig in heels? Notice how he should have been told all this during cycle to avoid the first big fish kill?
here, where there’s nothing on the line, opinions were free to range tremendously
but where there’s work and outcome needed folks seem to agree.
people posting in that thread above are in step to help him, he’s not getting wildly ranging input all confusing. I typed in the thread he used the first I didn’t know card and we can’t use it twice, thats a kinder reference to this thread here about ultimate responsibility
and he agreed and is seeking change, and that’s how influence changes hobby practice - one work at a time until a new pattern set makes change and changes what peers recommend to each other.
I know what work threads can do and we will directly link fish disease preps to the cycle and it will become commonplace, just gimme eight more years to seat it into reefing practice.

from the work thread on post #88 you can see plain as day all cycles complete on time, none stall. It’s twenty pages of giving exact start dates for cycles plus follow up months after the fact, reef cycles don’t stall that’s a false concept and we show it by assigning a specific start date for every reef there vs old science which was always an open-ended wait for the cycle to be done. Stalls are merely no TAN conversion panic ammonia reports on non digital kits, they’re not real.
seeing that no cycle fails to complete on time, we insert fish disease as the absolute concern at the start, not the ammonia, and we make positive change in the hobby relative to other people’s tanks not my little bubbling pico reef on the counter.
what I have at home doesn’t matter, Im working with public trending for my science.
