Enough with the deaths already!!

Unfortunately today we were forced to move out our larger system (http://canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=32472) to a new location. I'm horribly sad to report that all but 4 of our fish died in the 15 minute trip to the new location.

We lost our Red Sea Sailfin tang, Yellow tang, One Spot foxface, all of our shoal of chromis, yellow damsel, Chevy the Chevron tang, and our imperator angel. The remaining fish, our regal tang, psychadelic mandarin, an ocellaris clown, and one of our yellow damels are now at the new location pending a decision on how to proceed. This is the second time in a week that we've experienced fish, and pet death, in two separate tanks.

I'm really sad, all these fish started out tiny and grew to be 4-7" in length. Many of these fish have been with us since we started the hobby so its hard to deal with. So today is another one of those "I hate this hobby" days.

Wow...that's staggering. I'm so sorry

WOW that really sucks I feel very sad for you

I think I'm going to sell that system. The thought of restocking it right now is just really hard. Maybe just focus on my nano for awhile until I'm ready to try "big" fish again.
