I think you should give yourself and all those who helped you a hearty pat on the back! You pulled the whole thing off very nicely and as well as can be expected given your circumstances. It's normal to expect a few losses after a teardown/rebuild. AND ITS A LOT OF WORK. Having torn down the majority of my reef on Sunday to catch my nightmare PBT, I appreciate all your effort. Then you put it all back together and hope for the best. Only good thing about tearing things down is all the stuff you find. I found a razor blade I lost a month and a half ago. Found two corals I forgot about under the rocks, still kicking! In reefing sometimes bad things happen despite your best intentions and efforts. After I caught the Tang, I put him in a 100 litre rubbermaid tub with 30 gallons of tank water, heater, bubbler, powerhead. Tanglovers was going to put him in a 520 gallon tank, which I was thrilled about. Woke up to a dead Tang. I don't think I will ever give up on the hobby, but it seems to present a never ending thrill ride of challenges, for sure. Great job on everything, Heidi! Looking forward to watching your progress with the new tank. Thanks for all the pics, makes for a fun read!
