wow nice tank angie



chris

very nice ...wow

great tank do have a list of things in there?

what kind of coral is that ...the one on the right side in the middle it looks hairy green to me

The coral on the right is a neon green star polyp colony. It's been one of my favorites since I bought it years ago. I keep fragging it because it grows so nice.

I almost threw in the towel this morning. At 6am (before work) I was at my desk and my daughter came up behind me and said "mom.....it's all dead!!!" I spun around, flipped on the lights in the nano and it all truly looked dead.

What the !@#$%^&*! The tank was over 90 !!! The heater was set at the lowest possible temp. and had NEVER been changed. For some reason it came on and stayed on. I quickly grabbed all of the corals and put them in the 20g High tank on the other side of the room. The ricordia was gone....a gooey slimy pile of snot, along with the xenia and bubble anemone. I also lost my pair of clowns and the peppermint shrimp.

Because I had to be at work, there wasn't a whole lot I had time to do. I pulled out and disposed of the clowns (sniff sniff) and the pep. shrimp. I also tossed the melted xenia, anemone, and the ricordia. Everything else was kept in the 20g High for the day. I set the skimmer to wet skim and off to work I went.

At 6pm when I got home......Suprise!!! All of the zoanthids and star polyps made it. The verdict is still out on the singularia, colt, and blasto. It does appear that the colt and the singularia will make it. The blasto......no clue.

That was the closest I have ever come to a total tank nuke. BUT....it's still alive and all will be ok. I do have the mother colonies of all of the frags. Yippy!!!

I loved the true Percs.....I searched for them for a long time. They were $$ too. I will get another pair someday, if I can find them.

Since I had so many corals in the tank before this and I still have most of them, I rearranged the rock work while I was doing everything else tonight. More room for more corals.

Geesh.....when it rains it pours. I'll post new pics as soon as I figure out how to make them smaller. I got a new digi cam and the pics are HUGE, lol.

Here are the pics after the near nuke and rearranging the rocks.

I finally tossed the seaclone I had on my nano 2 days ago. I added a new one and it's much nicer. It's a CPR BAK-PAK

sorry to hear about what happiend glad you saved most of them :)
