8 hours of top off/flooding kills almost everything

With a little push from a friend i have an update.

Carpet survived, orange carnation never pulled through, and still have the polyp rock in an extra sump chamber. I have re-populated with similar style(carpet now takes up much more room).

i have made a few equipment changes with the most important being that i don't have ato directly plumbed anymore. Well, i do but... it is plumbed into a ro storage tank which i open the valve and fill then shut so only 3.5-4 gal is what is avail to the tank at any time except for when filling.

Here are some pics i took not to long ago of how things have come along.

The tank looks beautiful again. It is pretty amazing the carpet anemone not only survived, but now looks like it is flourishing again.

Your carpet nem is beautiful!! So glad you didn't lose it too. That sucks about your tank but it looks like it is rebounding well. So stressful, but look on the bright side. Now you get to do some more shopping!! Hope all goes well for you now.

Probably a nice fellow that was trying to get around doing some wrench turning on the wet end of his pump

They are the Evergrow D120s LEDs from the Canadian retailer who has designed quite a nice full spectrum layout for the light.

Thanks all for the encouragement. I have a Video i made when i was reviewing the LEDs when they first arrived. I might take off the audio of me droning on about dimmer knobs and lighting spectrum and post it a bit later if i get a chance. Then you can see some fishies swimming around.
