well finally got started on the total break down of tank about 330.. still have some corals to place but having to wait for water to clear and it is doing it very slowly... due to how long it took and heater making water in bucket too warm to quick we had some deaths actually alot.. chinstrap wrasse, stellar rabbit, all 3 dominoes, 2 blue green damsels, cleaner shrimp.. missing in action firefish, on the critical doubt they make it list.. velimingi tang, clarkii and rest are on the watch seem ok but we shall see list.. also lost pom pom crap.. water is slowly clearing in both tanks. ended up setting up 40 gallon and moving some of the sand there, stirred remainder good then drained the murky ucky water.. will post pics after all is clear and in perm spots..

that's a monstrous project you are undertaking
Don't envy you, good luck!

I really hate to hear that

Sorry for your losses. Hope the rest of them hang in there, and the MIA, show up.

I know how it is when waiting for the water to clear. It seems like forever.

Sorry for the losses.

Sorry you lost your fish. I hope you will be able to get a protein skimmer now that you are breaking it down.

Did you find any of the MIAs? Hopefully you have some luck and they are still alive.

We have a nice protein skimmer that would be perfect for a 100 gallon tank. :wink:

well, got everything back in and put where I want them.. the next few days will show which corals are ok n which are too mad to come back from too long out of tank..

i lost the last cleaner shrimp today.. however everyone else is doing well from the looks of it.. I was very surprised a few of them seem to have made it as I thought for sure they were goners..

I took some pics however photobucket is not cooperating with me to post them..still have some cloudyness on the inside of the glass of the big tank but the small one is looking fantastic..

Use Imgur as a photo hosting site, more reliable than photobucket and more user friendly.

well all the work cleared theproblem it seems.. all nitrates are 0 in both tanks. the small one is crystal clear finally big one still seems a bit cloudy but all inhabitants appear to be fine.. so guess time will tell if we won or just think we won the battle/war
