Default Well I think I just lost my entire tank

I did the swap out today but little did I realize that my heater stuck on in my frag tank that I moved all my corals to last night. I didn't realize this until I caught my fish and put them in so I could remove my sand bed and about 15 min later saw them floating.

My large Milli is gone as well as my deep water ARCO and some others.
the only fish to survive are the angel and fox face which I am giving away.

I quickly put water and everything back in the tank and put the corals that weren't already dead in and I am keeping my fingers crossed that some will make it.

Steve

Im sorry to hear about that Steve.
Kindof ironic that the angel and foxface survived.
Hope some of those beautiful corals battle back for you...

Sorry to hear that. How heartbreaking..

I'll gladly donate some coral frags for a new set-up, if you're interested.

I gotta say, I've never seen such a mess. Pretty much all the corals are gone, maybe a few cap pieces left, and one or two birdsnest frags. Suprisingly, all the snails are still fine.

Like I said Steve, once you clear up the water, I have a couple of pieces to start you up with again.

Pretty sad day for Steve's tank...

thanks for the encouragement, I admit I was considering just tearing it down and going fresh water for a while.

I just took another 6 frags out and put them in the DNR pile, so I have two frags of ARCO, 2 birds nest (one tan from Emily and one pink) and a Orange cap that look like they might make it, and a brown/purple cap that I hope will make it but not looking good on that one.

I may once I get everything settled out be looking for frags to get from people who have gotten stuff from me lately but we will see.

as for fish I lost a yellow tang, 4 chromis and my Mandarin.

Steve
