The Dreaded Crash...Maybe?

[OCDP]

This hobby is a heart breaker, man. Sorry to hear all the bad news.. I hope your clowns pull through..

And on a side note (sorry to hijack) those Nicorette Inhaler's work... until you have a beer, or a coffee, or this, or that.. you see where I'm going. Easy to break the addiction but not the habit!

Ugh. Total Mortality. The two clownfish were dead this morning. Time to let this system go fallow, I guess.

Terrible news man, I'm sorry.

Oh man that's horrible! Scary how quickly things go wrong. My condolences.

[Rbacchiega]

sorry to hear that Drew...Any clues as to what caused it yet?

Thanks guys.

Still no ideas. Nitrates were low, Ph stable, salinity, temperature....all stable. No nitrites or ammonia. Corals continue to thrive, including SPS. But before the clownfish died, they were absolutely covered in what looked like ich (though I don't know if it actually was ich, as I've never had it in my system before now). I actually think whatever they had eventually blinded them...was difficult to watch. Unfortunately, I didn't have the equipment/time to set up a hospital tank for them in time. *sigh*
