Default Great disappointment

Had a huge lose in my 150 - lost most of my SPS's, some LPS's and my lovely RBTA. Oddly enough never lost any fish.(clowns were close, but thanks for having another tank handy) Been doing this hobby for over 12 yrs now, but this is testing my will. I haven't had an animal loss for quite sometime. The dollar amount is heavy, but my moral is very low. Try to vent this to people not in the the hobby and not much understanding.(this is understandable though). My 33g FOWLR and 15g Seahorse tanks are doing well and they are what is keeping my head in the game for now.
thanks for listening,

Darn Ande what happened? Or do you know? I know that I recently lost a bunch of my SPS due to my own stupidity of not monitoring heat and it is pretty demoralizing. Sorry for your loss.

That's a rough break. Hope you can rebuild your stock. If you are looking for frags once you get things back on track, I can probably spare a few to help you get restarted.

I'd cut you some frags to help you get started again but I need to deal with my current plague first.

I feel the pain. I watched my friend's tank crash hard. No one will understand unless they share the passion. Sorry.

Mike
