So this morning, I woke up to find a tank filled with anemone milk. It was near the little thing that the HOB skimmer intakes water, and I guess it detached from the glass and spilled over into the intake pump. It was a 6 inch diameter GBTA, but was shriveled up to about 2 inches. I took what was left of it out of the pump and washed the pump. I only had 3 gallons of RO water so that was all I could change on the 20 gallon tank. Now, onto the victims. A 2 inch banggai cardinal fish and a 3 inch flame angel fish. They were the only fish in the tank, and I loved them very much. I guess I'm going to go get some water today and do a water change. Then, I'll add some more fish later. :(

I'm running some new carbon already and yes, I do have coral. They don't seem to be affected yet. I'm 14 and cant drive, my mom's boss is making here work today, until 4 pm, and my dad is in abiline TX. I hope everything lasts until I can make things right. :(

I live minutes away from la cantera and fiesta texas. I have 150+ gallons worth of salt so that is not an issue.

I have about 40-50 gallons of ro/di water, I just don't have any to transport it, I don't have lids for my buckets. when your mom gets home give me a call and you can swing by and pick up what you need. five four two- 5106

I'm running my filter now to top off my storage container.
