Sorry to hear, I hope it all works out for you

Sorry to hear that! I would take in an instant if I had my tank running! Hope your husband gets better soon!

Sorry to hear this, I always find crappy things seem to happen to good people.

Can I ask a few questions..... How large are the fish? What size a tack do you have them in? And I will assume it a FOWLR.....

Trig is about 6", and Spike is about 5", they are in a 65g in wall. They have been together since I got Spike, through many tanks and disasters....

The system is a bit of a mess, but a good functioning ecosystem for them, there are soft corals, a white urchin that has been there for years, an abalone that is huge and does nightly stuff.

The rock (or maybe so the system) does have aiptasia. Which is why I got the filefish, he keeps it out of the tank, but he needs a covered tank.

I will honestly do the best I can for them.

Thank you for suggesting maintenance, but the tank is at the point of bulb replacement, powerhead upgrade, and potentially a new main pump soon. It's not just a simple water change scenario.

Well if you end up needing to find someone to babysit them for a while I have a nice 90 gal I can put together to house them in my office. Just putting it out there, food for thought.

I'm sorry to hear this Deb. Best of luck for you and Barry.

Hi Deb, and sorry to hear of all the troubles.

I don't think I can house any fish suitably, but I can lend a hand in other ways - a ride, an errand, beer run, whatever.

You've been thru a lot, and I know I'm not the only one here for you guys.
