Aww that sucks man. I hope everything works out for you. Good to see that the skimmer is working well for you :cool:

Sorry to hear Danny.. Hope everything makes it to your new tank :)

Dang :exclaim: Just when things were turning around, you get another kick in the reef butt :sad: Sorry to hear it, Danny :sad:

Sorry to hear man hope things start to go better for you!!

Man that sucks :cry:
But all you can do is dust yourself off and move on, I admire your determination and commitment to your animals.
you should get that Ph up to 8.1 or so... and if you do go for the puppy make sure you drain your tank first. sorry for the jokes couldn't resist :redface:

Keep up the good work

I think you should be more concerned about the safety of your self and you livestock with the mercury that was in your MH bulb which is now most likely in your tank.

In most MH bulbs there are the following

Rare earth gases
Argon Gas
Mercury

I did think of that briefly but aside from a large water change and using carbon, what else can be done? I have moved all of my corals to my friends place where they are recovering nicely. All that is left in the tank is two fish and an RBTA.

I am not sure the best course of action but I would probable continue with large water changes, pulling the mercury out would be the big concern, maybe some one call tell if carbon will absob it

I'm not sure but I think Polyfilter or some product like that is supposed to be good for absorbing heavy metals. But mercury is dense so you should take a close look at your substrate to see if any is there.

Sorry about your troubles.
