I had the same thing happen once, eveything survived but the tank was a mess for a week or two afterwards. I now use a ground probe in my tanks and GFI plugs for power. Hopefully you don't lose any livestock.

If you need carbon and can't find any to buy, I do have a bucket of it here.

If you can't make enough ro water fast enough, stop in and pick a couple bottles of ro water at the store. That will give you a little breathing room for water change water.

Good luck, situations like that suck. Keep us posted lots of help on here.

the tank is looking like a 75% fish loss... 2 clownfish gone, one dead one unacounted for after moving all the liverock. 1 coral beauty gone, anemone is probably on its way out.

the only survivors are the scopas tang, the xenia and the yellow polyps and all the cleanup crew.

i think it might be best if i get rid of the scopas, and let the tank recover. if the anem makes it great, but that way there will be no more losses.

Where in Calgary are you? I have some carbon you can have, and I can make you up a few gallons of water.

Just an update. He's up and swimming around and seems to be getting some of his colour back. Will keep everyone updated.

thanks for helping me out Glenn, im glad he made it through the trip

Glennrf38 03-21-2008 08:21 PM

No problem. I'll keep you apaised of the status. I have him in the sump now so that the other fish don't pick on him til he is stronger.
