That's terrible Adam. If there's anything I can do to help let me know.

Thanks Kelly

I might bring all the coral from this tank over to you tommorow if you will be around.
Not sure what will survive but I should be able to tell soon enough.
To be honest after posting this I took measurements of the space I have and am considering a 4ft tank to take its place and perhaps clean this 50 gal and throw it in the basement as a hospital / quarantine tank.
Maybe a larger system with top notch filtration would of been able to avoid this.

The Koran angel had just been added to my sytem about 6 days ago and seemed to of been adapting well and eating great.
I suspect maybe he died and his body was left to rot which caused a nitrate spike which eventually killed everything

Kelly I have some fuzzy mushrooms and gsp and xenia in this tank as well as some colt coral and a small zoa frag.
If you could provide a home for this guys (perhaps the little tank) It would be appreciated.
Should I just allow this tank to sit for the time being ? Its void of life now so I don't see why it cant sit and "re cycle" while I decide what to do.

Is it still full of yucky water? Maybe if you do a couple big water changes on it the tank would still be useable. You can run some carbon on it for a bit and skim. I can babysit your corals in my seahorse tank (or if they are small in the club's nano) till your tank is back on it's feet if you'd like.

Sorry to hear about your tank going down! At least you have a friend to help you out

. Speaking of Kelly, are you the same Kelly that runs "The Club"?

Kinda. I don't actually run it though. The guy who runs it is Jim Sayers. I just help...a bit too much.
