Man, that is just horrible - really sorry to hear of it.

Hope you can pull it back together. You've always seemed a fairly determined sort of person.

Sorry for your losses Steve.

Could we learn from your experience by having you tell us what brand of heater and the size of the heater you used and what total volume of water you had?

I no longer use high powered Ebo Jagers because of failures that I have heard about. I use a low powered Tronic at this time.

I don't know the name of the heater now.. it was a titanium one, either 200 or 250 watts, and it was in the tank I set up for the corals and fish during the sand bed removal, which had about 20 gal of water in it.

So sorry Steve...I never realized when I was bugging you about the viewer.

I don't think you will be without frags for long.

Wow, you have my condolences. The people who say that this hobby gets easier with time have surely never experienced what you have. Hope you and your tank recover quickly.

ok I just did a water test,

Nitrates 0
Alk 12.5
Mg 1050
Ca 300
Salinity was about 1.023 (just finnished adding a bit of salt mix to bring that up a tad)

I also brought up my Mg about 100 ppm and tomorrow I will adjust my Ca up to 400.

god I hate starting over with new water, why don't they just make a salt mix that has the right levels to start with

Steve
