    Hang in there Michael. You were obviously doing something right. You'll bounce back!

  2. I love your lawnmower blenny. I'm drawn to these guys. I just purchased a Starry Blenny for my 29g cube. They're just the cutest critters ever!
     
  3. I hope the rest of your tank comes back. Any thoughts on the cause?

    Tank has finally stabilized. I lost almost all of my sps. Only ones that were not affected were the montipora spongodes and the large pocillopora colony. My Duncan, leathers, gorgonians, and zoas were unaffected. Now to keep it stable for a while before trying any other sps.

    Finally, the tank is coming back around. Just ordered new bulbs so that will help. Lost all my sps corals but my zoas, gorgonians, Duncan, and cabbage leather are doing great along with the fish. I'll get some recent pictures upload soon.

    I am glad to see you are back up and running. I was going to facebook message you a few days ago but decided not to. Let me know when you are ready for more SPS.

    Thanks John! Once the new bulbs come in and I get them replaced I should be about ready to try again.

    Lol yes I believe so. I was hoping to meet fellow reefers close. I love looking at other peoples tank and getting ideas that work for them. Just makes a person better at keeping corals I believe at least. Maybe we can meet and discuss our tank sometime.

    It has been a year and a half since setting the tank up. At one point it looked like all my sps had died. I left everything alone and kept the water right and slowly things are coming back. It it amazing how the tank has bounced back.
