I will definitely not do anything major before heading out again.
I may have caused some movement of some stuff in the sand...but unlikely.
The tank is a 47 gallon that is 31 inches deep.
Before anyone says anything about being overpopulation. I was constantly checking chemistry and the levels were fine. there were only a couple them that were larger...most were smaller juveniles. I had so many in the tank because I was going to take some out after I had confirmed the sexes of them...my intentions are to breed them, so I wanted to make sure that I had the right numbers of males and females. The jevuniles are hard to sex, so I overbought just to make sure.

I had scrapped the glass regularly without any difficulties in the past...

The tank had been up and going since christmas.

The heat wasn't a concern. This happened after the big heat wave.

One thing is for sure...I have also learnt don't have so many eggs in one basket so to speak. I will be breaking the numbers down into a couple of different seahorse tanks in the future..so that I don't have so huge losses if, god forbid, something happens again in the future.
