Thanks Mike but had big problems. No answers or ideas. Never before such problems. Lost corals, and fishes. My clowns are sick but in quarantine being treated.

I have a 35g RSM with my stuff moved in. Pretty nice tank as you know. Not the large one but thats fine.

What is wrong with the tank. Maybe the silicone

No idea Mike. Don't think so. Even used reef safe. Its all wrapped up outside for sale now.

I'll look forward to your next visit & maybe we can take more time

Tanks DONE. Wrapped up waiting for sale. Can only take so much. Lost several hundred $$$$$$ in frags. Scoops gets ick out of the blue?????? Lost several fish. Never in all my years have I had problems like that.
Now I have my prized pair of percs in quarantine trying to save their life, with momma looking out of the glass at me for help. SAD.
I have moved my remaining corals and frags plus the surviving fish to my 35g RSM I got from a good friend. Will start a thread on it at a later date after this passes.
Anywho its the end of this one. Shows you should be happy with what you have. My 50g Fluvial was doing great, fish happy and great coral growth & colour. But oh no, have to upgrade. BLAH !!!!!!

For sure Greg. I would like that.

Sorry to hear about the bumpy road this build took. Forgive me if I am misunderstanding, but your scopas got ick (and died?) and you have the clowns in QT, but you moved other fish and coral to the 35g RSM? Wouldn't that guarantee the the RSM has ick now? It's also very late, so I may be missing something obvious.

In any event, you must have the patience of Job to continue after this roller coaster of a tank build. I'd feel like throwing in the towel if I had to go through this! I hope things settle down with your next one.

The three in the RSM did not show sick signs. My copperband, {of all fish}. bangaii & leopard wrasse seem to be all fine. The 35 was not running before. Contents are form the larger reef. I had to save what corals I could, especially the rack full I just brought back from Calgary.

I lost the male clown this morning. The female was giving him little pushes to get him moving. Mind you she always did that. Was a terrible morning for me. I sure hope the female makes it.

All my remaining rock is outside in a large tub with a couple of large powerhead. Will have yo go fishless for a couple months before use is another tank. Not mine, its for sale $200 for about 150lbs.

Thanks for the post.
