Hemmdog’s 90gal Seaciety and 40gal Vale of Shadows

[Hemmdog]

My yellow tang didn’t make it. He was looking very velvetish last night. My thought was let the fish recover from the power outage in the 90 and not stress them more before starting the non visually sick fish in qt. I also didn’t want to remove all the rocks while my coral was stressed and sps having rtn. It didn’t seem like the best time to be doing a rescape and all.

I liked that fish, had him almost 2 years. I’ll be alright, just figured I’d keep you all updated.

The tank looks so empty I hate it

So sorry man - you've had a bad run lately. Stay strong!

Love how positive you are staying, brother. Not much else to do.

Well, that sucks.
But I like how you're holding your head up.

I'm really sorry @Hemmdog. You do inspire me with your positive attitude! Mine wasn't near as good as yours when I was facing my challenge. Hats off to you brother!

My profile pic will be changed soon, dipped again this morning, at current loss continues it will be gone in the next couple of days, crap happens, yours is way worse, reefing sits deep, you will be back stronger and wiser.

After losing a family pet, or pets, some cant handle the thought of another one for a long time down the road, but most of us feel better once we do finally take the ride out for a new after some time of grievance and loss.

And on the scale you have faced, its total deflation I'm sure. BUUUUTTT..

It does open the possibility for you to design the livestock list from the bottom up, and QT them together to avoid issues with socialization.

Just wanted to try and change the mood a bit, and I hope to see the smiles and good times return soon bud...

Keep swimming.

Yea very true. I have been thinking some about what I want to get for the 90 after a fallow period. I was overstocked before so I want to avoid that again. I think I want more fish but smaller groups, less big individuals.
I do think tang wise I would look into a white tail bristletooth. That’s about as far as I’ve gotten... lol.

Just wanna help keep u thinking ahead. This will pass by faster than u think. Use this time wisely...
I saw it as an opportunity to learn how to reintroduce and pick proper species that do well together.

Many rebirths come from death, but u must allow them in and embrace them for the future... always learning. Chin up man. Cheers. Happy fathers day

Now what the hobby needs to figure out is how to make a generator that runs on skimmate .

Thats brilliant. If you figure it out, keep it to yourself. Dont want to end up like Stanley Meyer. Lol
