I'll just be happy when my basement doesn't smell like dead clam....
Again, thank you everyone for your well wishes, and offers to help. The tank has water in it again, we've completely changed the return plumbing and how we are going to generate additional flow in the tank in the future. We are going to have to re-cycle the tank, and that is the part I dread. There is still the smell of die-off in our basement, and its not leaving quick enough for me. I've been researching on adding vodka as a carbon source to help the cycle along. I am still unsure of where I sit on this. So right now its just a matter of tweaking the flow in the tank, and just letting it be. We've shut off the MHs and are reducing the T5 lighting period significantly. It sucks, but its the way it has to be if I, and we, want to continue in this hobby.

Out loud I'm saying "Oh good, she's not giving up" But inside I'm saying "what, is she nuts?
 " The number of setbacks you've had over the last year has made me afraid to open your threads but from here on out it can only get better

I am so sorry
I just saw your thread now, and it breaks my heart to hear this happened to you. I don't even know what to say. If you need anything let me know.

Did I just enter the twilight zone?
 I got an email message saying delphinus has just replied to this thread at 11:23. I've waited 10min and still there's nothing, where did it go?  Last edited by marie; 10-20-2008 at 06:40 AM.

Delphinus had a "senior" moment at 12:30, that's all... and then went to bed instead of fixing it. Sorry!!
Here's my attempt after having some more coffee: Just wanted to say thank you to Kevin and Doug at Red Coral for going above and beyond expectations to help out Michika's livestock. It's not often I can claim to have had my expectations exceeded, but it happened here, and I'm grateful for it, and wanted everyone to know that Red Coral is a shop run by some very cool reefers and I give them two thumbs up, way way up.

Very much so agreed. Both Doug and Kevin are doing an amazing job with the store, and this last crash aside have always exceeded my expectations in everything they've done. We all know how much I *LOVE* clams, and I am really happy to have a place to go that will feed that addiction.
Also definitely Tony, you yourself deserve a huge thumbs up (and lots of double doubles) for coming out on Thanksgiving Monday, bearing the smell (bleh!), and taking home my remaining livestock. Thank you everyone! On a side note, the funny thing is that I just got VM notification on 2 messages from people who called on that crappy day and the following Tuesday. Go Telus *eyeroll*
