the crash of 2010

[Edmonton newbie]

so while at work today the wife called me to tell me that all my fish and shrimp were gone. Sunk to the bottom. 6" foxface gone, 6"cbb gone, 5" yellow tang gone, 6" dragon goby gone, 2x4" indigo dottybacks gone, pair of 5" cleaner shrimp gone, something had to get that dam damsel out of my tank but it didnt have to take all the tank mates. the only ray of light there was i found a flame scallop that i thought was gone 6 months ago, somehow this lil critter survived.

Oh no!!! Sorry to hear. Any idea what happened?

[Skimmerking]

no clue at this point just finished doing a 95% water change and gonna let it cycle for a few weeks till i get any new fish. most the corals are looking ok after a half day in buckets tho

anaerobic pocket making gaz?

Amazing that your flame scallop survived. They are usualy the first thing to die in an aquarium and then they pollute the water and crash the tank.

1 flame scallop can pollute a tank to the point of crashing?
