Everything that died seemed to die by yesterday morning, so perhaps thats it. I hope.

There was one acro I though was going but then I remembered it had lost a battle when falling into another acro, so I think its fine. Looks fine anyways.

All in all, if that it for deaths, I would have to say it DID go ok. Fish are fine. Most corals look good or even better. The tank overall looks much, much better than my old tank. Its just that much bigger and was very nice to aquascape 30" from front to back.

That sucks man Cant tell u what happened but everytime i've transfered my tank i've used all sand{small rinse} and added at least 40% new water never had any problems. Went from 33g to a new 33g then to a 75g then 5 months later to a 90g with no problems. Hope everything works out.

Well nothing has died the past two days now and my birdsnest seems to be fine now although some dead spots remain. I may still frag it.

I still have some concerns for a green acros that has what looks like slightly receding tips but at the same time has incredible color and polyp extension.

But I can't complain after seeing what you have had to deal with today

Good to see your back on Fred.

Justin, not sure how you do your water changes. But you could've had a contaminated bucket, I know a few people that has had that happen to them, although its usually the fish that die first with contaminated buckets
