Well 2 1/2 yrs is down the drain. I arrived back from the lake last night to a complete meltdown of my tank. Lost all of the fish, most of the corals, inverts, etc..

it sucks, but life must move on.

What really sucks is things were finally starting to get good, and I was starting to win the battle against hair algae.

oh well time to start testing and waterchanges for the next 6 weeks to see if I can get it stable again and start over.

I'm not sure what the actual cause of the crash was. Saw some salt stain on the floor, thought a leak tripped the GFI. Though replaced the GFI, dried things out, started plugging things in, the GFI tripped when I plugged in heater. Found heater in 2 pieces. So something caused that, or it just went.

Right now it looks like the only surviours is my red/green brain, one SPS, the GSP & some zoo's. My RBTA may pull through, but I don't have my hopes up. What surprised me is my sand sifting star made it fine.

This is the first weekend I didn't have someone stop in at least once, that will never happen again. I don't know if it would have saved anything, and will never know.
