Ever had one of those days
 
Man somtime this hobby is so crule. My 300gal system turned ine year old on Easter. My old 90gal cracked in the middle of the night and I lost most of my SPS colonies. I managed to save frags off of most pieces and had grown most into nice sized colonies. Fast forward to three days ago I added a awsome blue Maxima clam about the size of both my fists while putting him into the tank he jetted water onto one of the 400w mogul bulbs. The bulb did not break much to my surprize. Today I come home from work and i notice mass bleaching. The outer glass sheild has broken away and the corals have been exposed to the direct light.
Looks like I will loose; Cali Tort, Oregon Tort, Purple cross, Lime in the sky, Ice blue Tenuis, Purple Loripes, Violet Subglabra, Robins Egg Stag... who knows what else. Hopefully I can save frags from each.
Man I just want to hit something!
Sorry for the rant.
I thought it might make me fell better.
Not so much!
Keith.

You have got to be kidding me keith. That sucks so bad. Paul was just telling me about that clam that you were getting from him. Hopefully you can save most of those pieces. I wish I could help and offer you some frags of my own, but we both know that that's not happening. I know how you feel right now. It makes you just want to scream and hit something.

This hobby sure has it's ups and downs.

Sorry to hear Keith, that sucks. Hopefully all goes well and you are able to save a few pieces. Let me know if you need any help or somewhere to move things temporarily if needed.

Good luck

Horrible ! Sorry for your bad luck. You've reached out to the right place though. I had a very bad experience last summer which made me want to fold. But the support and help I got from fellow Canreefers was the difference. If you where here I'd pay some forward. Good luck & chin up :)
