A heartbreaking loss, to say the least.

Sad to read that your tank past a way. I had friends that that had it happen to. I takes time to rebuild. Wish you the best of luck with new tank.

Murphy's Law seems to apply to reefs more than any other hobby I know of.

It's like the gremlins are waiting to strike as soon as you go away on vacation.

Been there brother, it sucks.
I went away for the long weekend about two years ago, while I was gone my return pump died. I lost all my fish, inverts, everything except for my LTA, a Green brain and a green Pagoda. I lost some hard to find pieces, Red Frogspawn, a crazy 30 head crazy frogspawn arg... I hate to even think about it.

I walked in saw the tank, turned around walked outside and did a chevy Chase in the drive way. (like he did when all those christmas lights didn't work)

I almost packed it in.

Sorry for the loss. If I were in your neck of the woods I would offer to help stock back up when you are ready. Think of it this way....is there anything that you would have done differently with the tank setup or aquascaping? This is your chance to improve (if you can) on the tank.
