Thank you everyone. When I get home tonight I will again try to figure out what to do. Most everything in my tank is gone, and looking at an empty tank is really hard. I removed 2 out of the 4 questionable clams yesterday. I left all of the SPS in the system, there only seems to be two typs of SPS right now; dead, and not so dead Mostly it will be clams and fish that need temporary homes if we go that route. A few pieces of SPS as well.

The skimmer pulled out over 3 liters of crap between 5 pm and 8 pm last night. It was pulling throughout the day, but it had to be dialed back significantly since nobody was home to watch it.

I do have photos, and I think I will post them.

Cath - you know you can count on me to help house things too. In fact I have a mostly empty 110g right now (ritteri went to a new home, but can't take down the tank yet), so I have a fair amount of space. Let me know, ok? It's no burden, don't hesitate to call on your Canreef friends if it can make the difference for you.

I definitely won't hesitate. We will be making the call on keeping things in the tank or moving them tonight. So there may be a flurry of PMs tonight, but there may not be.

I am sad to hear the ritteri is gone, but change can be good. I really loved that tank, it was really cool because it was like the ultimate minimalist tank. I loved the rabbitfish, clam, anemone combination, it just worked so well for that system.

I will be making a run tomorrow to pick up more carbon. I also think I will be buying a 5g bucket in bulk just to have around. I've gone through probably 1g of the stuff already, maybe more.
