Really sorry to hear that, Ruth. Like everyone else says.. hang in there, and don't give up. Take a breather.. Again, my sympathies.. I can't imagine how devastating this must be.

Thank you for all your kind words everyone.
I know that I should keep going but really I don't feel like it. I have the lights off on this tank right now as I can't even bear to look in it although I am going to have to soon as I have not recovered the body of my Elvis yet (can't even see it so I am going to have to rip the rock out) I still think I will tear this tank down but will have to find a home for the Naso first cause he is just too big to go in any of my other tanks with the current inhabitants. Also not sure about the anemones. I'll see how I feel tomorrow and just take it from there I guess.

Very sad to hear Ruth
 , I can relate to your wanting to give up. Just awhile ago I lost just about everything, some fish I've had for several years and all my corals. needless to say the $$$$ that was spent and the guilt from feeling responsible. But after some encouragement from fellow reefers and that little voice in the back of my mind I continued on. So after somemore $$$$ and growing new attachments to some new fish/coral I'm really glad I continued on. So keep your chin up and listen to your fellow reefers  Lots of support here. (still waiting to get my corals shipped )

Aww Ruth, I'm so sorry to hear this. Give it awhile, eventually you'll feel like continuing on.

That is the most frustrating thing that can happen and the only thing that seems to make sense, usually makes you more angry. It's going to be very hard to get over, but you will, and soon it will make you a better reefer....even though you are way down there right now. Hang in there Ruth!

You've been far too important on this board to give up, a lot of us new reefers are blessed to have your advice and honest words and feedback.
Please don't give up, 100 reefers can't be wrong, you're needed here!
