Maybe tonight is a good time to start shutting down......

Got home this evening, to find that I have lost one of my Convict Tangs. The juvenile. He had been AWESOME up until last night, when I noticed that he was just "chillin" which is odd, as he has been grazing the algae in the tank since day one ferociously and there is still PLENTY to be eating, haven't cleaned my back glass for like 5-6weeks.. He just kinda quit doing his thing, looked weak even though my larger Convict is still active and eating (Finally got him on Nori this week!!).

I am guessing an internal parasite or such, but really have no idea.

sorry to hear about the shut down. I can imagine how excited you were to see this in full force. hopefully you figure something out. i didn't remember reading it in the thread, are you going to keep the majority of your supplies for later on?

Thanks,

Yea I will be keeping the MP20, Tunze ATO, maybe a K3, and thinking about re-using the sump tank.

Will be upgrading the return pump, Ehiem probably. Still going with a BM180CS skimmer, and thinking about switching to T5 and picking up a 6x24W Sunpower. Thought about the 36" but would look a bit odd overhanging the tank I think, and the rock work in the tank will only cover a 24"x14" foot print.

I got the final go ahead from my buddy for a 33x24x17 tank size (really 32x23x15.5" water volume). It's gotta be a very "safe" build too. Which is fine, forces me to make this setup look clean and finished. Rather than an unfinished 2x4 stand.

When the time comes I will get a thread started.
