Props to Concept for helping out! What is the damage? It sounds like it is mostly going to pull through? I hope...
fish and coral are now here at concept , tank is being drained and set up again , then carbon running very aggressivly...all equipmewnt washed.it will be up to tiff when she gets back whether she wants to continue on or restart the tank with her sand and rock she has now or start new.

so far so good , all fish are in their new tanks , alot of work cut out still for those home

good luck!!

so far no losses, i believe there is a small chromis or damsel that they couldnt catch.

we couldnt acclimate as the water they came in more than likely was contaminated so it was a quick temp acclimate and then in they went to water syphoned from our display.

we are going to watch them for a few days and try feeding this evening

out of all the fish all of them are out and about swimming but one is in hiding.

breathing has returned to normal and corals are opening and doesnt seem to have any loss there.

im trying to give the fish there own space and not stress them out further and they are in our qt room with fresh liverock from my display, hopefully they will eat some frozen tonight.

as far as fish condition goes the one im most scared of ( cowfish) seems to be doing just amazing and the best of the bunch

theres going to be a lot of work to clean out the system, prob some tough calls to make but we have sent them home with a game plan and matt has given them his personal cell number in case they need him to come over.

we will help in anyway we can...short supplies,knowledge etc.

ive been in a similiar boat before and i remember kevin at red coral offering something similiar, it all came down to if i have the space which lucky enough right now we did

Props to Concept for helping out with the rescue, I am still totally shocked to think anyone could do something like this to your pride and joy, unbelievable . Glad most of your livestock are ok so far. Good luck with setting up again.

Let's just be thankful that the inhabitants are alright and that Concept is close enough to lend a helping hand.we. Weren't present when the incident occurred so it wouldn't be fair to pass judgement.once again-a big thank you to Concept for helping the OP
