Wow Steve. What sad looking pics.

Yes some of it is, the part thats pinky is covered by hose... The parts that are exposed to water are starting to brown in color... I will pull that pump

I'd maybe investing in something to pull copper, just in case. Any issues with snails or hermits, etc?

Um Steve, thank you for the definition... Wow, I have heard stories of the buckets... Its something totally different to see :cry:

I have two peppermint shrimp and an emerald crab that are fine, I saw a hermit a day or two ago. I am missing two mexican turbo snails (which might have set this all off), as for other misc snails I just realized that I haven't seen any in a long time...

Current death list: Dusky Jawfish, Brittle Star Fish, Maxima Clam, 4 peices of SPS, 1 Pulsing Zenia, 2 Mexican Turbo Snails missing

Here are my pictures, looking pretty empty:

ya that was when my heater stuck on in the tamp tank while I was removing the sand out of the main tank. I put everything back int he tank hoping it would make it but nothing did.


ya the blue bucket is a 8 gal bucket and the greyish black one is a 20 gal bucket so they are bigger than they look in the pic. to give you an idea the mili in the second bucket pic was almost 20" accross.

Steve did your fish make it?

Really sorry to read about your fishues Wayne:sad:......I dont think technically speaking you are having a crash, its more of an event.......I dont know what is worse......slowly losing stuff over a period of days or weeks, not being able to figure out whats going on.......or losing everything all at once, like Steve and myself......

how bout this one........
