I've always liked his tank. That sucks to lose as much as he did. Too bad he hasn't posted any pictures I guess when you look at what you have just lost you are not in too much of a hurry to photograph it.

I can't blame him for not posting pics of the skeletons. That tank was a large part of his time, money, and, im sure his, heart. I know Id be too crushed by the loss to even think about taking pics.

I was tempted to add my condolences to the list, but he's got the support he needs. I remember how crushed I was when my ineptitude broke my tank, and killed a bunch of corals, and cost a bunch of money. I can't imagine how he must have felt.

It will be interesting to see what emerges from the ashes. I, for one, don't want to see those acro skeletons.

...you know..I read that story on RC and didn't even clue into who's tank it was. His tank is clearly the inspiration for my own effort.

Lessons I just learned #1: This hobby is very much about established routines. Anytime you undertake to do something different, there's risk. Lessons I just learned #2: Watch for effects if you've had to do something different.

Dang. That was the most beautiful tank I've ever seen too. Hard to believe all those beautiful corals & such are gone due to a water change.
