very patient build so far, it will be great when it's ready to add water :)

So the move happend, and to be frank about it, it was a disaster.

I lost or am in the process of loosing pretty much everything I really love in my tank. My younger dog ate the body of one of my fish that didn't survive, and my oldest clam is kicking the bucket. The floor in my new condo isn't level, so I am the Shim Queen.

Pretty much everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong in this move. So to everyone who has gotten some frags off me in the last couple of months, you may be getting PMs asking for frags.

I'm off to visit a store to buy new carbon, because of course it got destroyed in the move!

/rant of utter frustration.

Oh Man that hurts....

Sorry too hear that Catherine..but things always get better

Oh, Catherine, I'm so sorry to hear the move hasn't gone well. I know it's hard, but keep positive......

Oh no :( So sorry!! I hope things start to settle out. If there's anything I can do to help please let me know.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

I think I will loose 3 clams, and probably 1/4 - 1/3 of my SPS. There is still some flesh on some colonies/frags and I'm doing my best just to leave them alone to see if they heal or improve. At this point I think fragging larger pieces would cause more harm then good.

Oh no. Catherine, I don't work tomorrow or Tuesday. If you need help, just ask!

Ah that sux.

The die off seems to have stabalized now.

I had to come back to Edmonton to work, so the tank is being watched right now, and hopefully it will start to recover in the next few weeks.

Thank you again for all the offers of help, it is very much so appreciated.

I now rename this system the Tank O' Death. Everytime I look into the tank a new SPS frag or colony is dead. When I packed up my little 24g I had 94 different types of sps and about 10 duplicates. I will be surprised if I have 35 left.

I am running carbon, there is very good flow in the system, and the skimmer is doing a good job of cleaning everything out. I am running both actinics and MHs on a reducced photo period, 6 hours a day. The tank also stinks, like die off.

There is no sand in the system anymore, and nothing, including the rock, was out of water for more then possibly 30 seconds in the move. Everything was shipped in water.

All the fish are alive and seem to be doing well. I see less of them though because they have more places to hide. The chromis love the flow and are playing in it constantly.

Any thoughts on why I'm having this wave of SPS death?
