Give me a shout if you run into any hiccups during the transfer Greg!

I'm happy to have been able to see your tank in its prime just a couple of weeks back. I don't have much to offer but if you need help or anything we're all here for you.

Thanks for all the support buds
At this point I'm just trying to minimize coral losses and deciding where to go from here
I'll most likely setup the replacement 75g as I don't think I can afford the tank I really want right now

If you need or would like a 50 gal, until your replacement comes, I have one you can borrow indefinitely.

Thanks Bryce for the very kind offer. I think I'm OK for now but will keep it in mind

Thanks Bud
I hear ya about upgrading right now, but the money's not available. I've lost a bunch of coral already that could have helped to fund another tank. There just wasn't enough time to try to sell them.
I have a thought I'm working on for a replacement tank.
In the meantime, the warranty one is on it's way

So, update ...
The fish are all doing well in the 36g. Just have to get through the next few days to ensure no ammonia issues.
As for the corals;
-I've lost the majority of the green slimer, but still have the base. It's baseball sized so it'll grow back. It killed a bunch of stuff I wasn't worried about, but I had to throw out some rock
-Candy cane colony is mostly dead, but I'm giving it a chance in it's own water
-Hammer colony is gone
-Beautiful Favia colony is gone
-Lost half the gorgs, other half is unknown so far
-Setosa bleached out completely

As for the rest there's just minimal tip bleaching here and there, and some lightening of color but for the most part it looks like I may be able to salvage a fair amount that I wanted to keep
And surprisingly the RBTAs are hangin' in there as well as their crab

I've got to rig up a light I have here for the corals, test the big 3, maybe float some carbon and change some water. Can't put them in a tub with the skimmer.

Dang!!! Thats one heck of a leak! Sorry to hear about your losses. Terribly frustrating hobby sometimes.

Makes me think that im thankful for being an equipment hoarder if this were to happen to me lol.

Ya, you and me both
If I didn't have all the buckets, totes, heaters, powerheads, thermometers, spare tanks, battery backup air and vortechs, and double ATOs I would have been in very serious trouble
Imagine draining a 75g display - where do you put 4 years of coral growth and a dozen fish ?
