Sorry to hear, I hope it all works out for you

Sorry to hear that! I would take in an instant if I had my tank running! Hope your husband gets better soon!

Sorry to hear this, I always find crappy things seem to happen to good people.

Can I ask a few questions..... How large are the fish? What size a tack do you have them in? And I will assume it a FOWLR.....

Trig is about 6", and Spike is about 5", they are in a 65g in wall. They have been together since I got Spike, through many tanks and disasters....

The system is a bit of a mess, but a good functioning ecosystem for them, there are soft corals, a white urchin that has been there for years, an abalone that is huge and does nightly stuff.

The rock (or maybe so the system) does have aiptasia. Which is why I got the filefish, he keeps it out of the tank, but he needs a covered tank.

I will honestly do the best I can for them.

Thank you for suggesting maintenance, but the tank is at the point of bulb replacement, powerhead upgrade, and potentially a new main pump soon. It's not just a simple water change scenario.

Well if you end up needing to find someone to babysit them for a while I have a nice 90 gal I can put together to house them in my office. Just putting it out there, food for thought.

I'm sorry to hear this Deb. Best of luck for you and Barry. :(

Hi Deb, and sorry to hear of all the troubles.

I don't think I can house any fish suitably, but I can lend a hand in other ways - a ride, an errand, beer run, whatever.

You've been thru a lot, and I know I'm not the only one here for you guys.
