Time may have come !!!

[LuckySingh]

Came home couple hours ago and noticed my chiller was constantly running.. Any way for some reason my controller stopped working and my tank temperature when down to 61 degrees .. Half of my tank looks already dead . I caught couple fishes half dead and they r in the bucket . Luckily I had about 40glns of water ready and I am replacing some of the water .i guess all my corals and anemones are literally all dead .i guess this is the worst day of my life. Wouldn't probably know untill tomorrow what survived or not .. Anyway could be an end of this journey

[Big_Pun]

let me know what i can put in my sump call me!

[Mr Cob]

Lucky, so sorry man. Text me if you need anything. I don't know what to offer up but whatever you need just text me.

[kkiel02]

Lucky call me if you need anything when you wake up. I'll be up, at work now. I have salt I could even bring over a tank.

[Scutterborn]

I've got room in the sump as well. Lmk, bro.

Thanks for asking guys me and my wife we both working to get stuff out . I made a quick 40 gln water took few fishes out . I suspect most my wrasses are dead since I don't see em . Pulled my corals out also but all my Sps are washed away .big loss

[Mike]

Shout if we can loan you anything. Also don't forget the equipment library. We have a couple of 20g long tanks, 29g, and Kevin has our 40g which he isn't using. Have HOB filters, heaters, pumps, lights etc. Let us know what you need.

We have gone through a tank crash and it sucks, but we got through it and so can you. Good luck...

[350gt]

****.... Sorry to hear.

[Mr Cob]

Lucky, I have a 40g breeder tank coming tomorrow evening from Manda...complete system if you need to borrow. I also have 2 40 gallon breeders at the house, a sump a mag 5 and a stand...have not set them up yet...you are welcome to borrow just let me know... even cured live rock just sitting waiting for me to use.

[BBQHILLBILLY]

wow not good, get them temps up and see what can make it

[Mike]

Your wrasses might be hiding in the sand. Fingers crossed.

[Scutterborn]

I've got a 240 sitting in the garage. Lmk

[Sherita]

This is horrible to hear! I'm so sorry Lucky. It looks like it's covered, but if you need anything just let me know.

[LuckySingh]

Sohal
Mcclouch
Picasso
2 borb
2 Bartletts

Few lps scolys looks bad

1 or 2 chalice
Carpet looks bad
Clams seems to be alright



This is what's dead
My entire Sps
Sunburst anemone
Sexy anemone
Couple master scolys alive but they won't make it
Few high end chalices
Three yellow hammers . I mean yellow
Plates
Flame wrasse
2 Bartletts

My tank looks like he'll right now . Don't know what to do . Heading out to work right now and wifey is babysitting my quarterine tank

[Sherita]

If you need it, I have room to hold corals long term until you get things put right again.

That list of losses is sickening. I'm so sorry.

[Scutterborn]

I've still got some room available if you need, lucky. Im more than willing to help.

[LuckySingh]

Thanks for the offers guys . But I have all the extra equipment sting in my garage also .
I mixing up more water to set up my another 75 gln where I can move the fishes y them selves .
Hopefully after a large water change tank should be stable in a day r two .
Right now I am in a shock of my loss the stuff I been collecting for years have all washes away within hours . More for my fishes what they have been through last night .
Now I regret with a my theory to always have an upsize equipment having a 1hp chiller for my tank it self was calling out for disaster

[FireWater]

Just read this Lucky. That absolutely sucks and is sickening. I know you said you have all the equipment you need, but if you need help please let us know.

When you think you're ready to start with some coral again let me know. I have some things you can have.

[Sherita]

I also would be happy to donate some corals to you. Please don't give up on the hobby.

[1seahorse]

Sorry to hear that Lucky...My thoughts are with you, your family, and extended marine life family! That news made my tummy turn! Try to acclimate back slowly, some may still make it l, and your coral may still be ok, just cold burns to tissue, but give them some Reef Fuel (amino acids) or for quick tissue repair... Best regards, -CP

[Texreefer]

Sorry to hear this..I certainly understand..I don't have a thing to offer but my help if you need it for anything.

[LuckySingh]

Thanks for the concern guys . I am not planning to put any new corals in atleast for another few months . I have given a lot to this hobby and been committed but a disaster like this has certainly shaken me . The only thing I could use and willing to pay aswell is a lots of macro ..

[ramsey]

I'm really sorry to hear this Lucky. That's awful. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the live stock that has a chance. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

[LuckySingh]

Well tank is back running . One more queen anthias went missing ..
This is what I have in tank right now beside fishes
3 clams
Few softies leathers zoas
Few Scolymia No more fancy ones
Red carpet lost a bit of his color . No more fancy. Btas
Half of my welso .
Few reg green hammers
1 torch
And a bunch of dead skeleton .

I had so much invested in this tank and back on start now . That sucks

[OrionN]

Just find this thread this AM. Sorry to hear about this. I am glad that the carpet is doing OK. I can donate some SPS in the future.

[OrionN]

What controler did you use and what happened to it?

[LuckySingh]

Apex has failed on me couple times aswell in past Minh . It was just a aqualogic chiller controller

[OrionN]

How is the "baby" today?

[LuckySingh]

[hobogato]

good, i'm sure the color will come back in no time.

[allan]

Man, I heard about this, but this is the first time I got to the thread. I hope you're hanging in there.

You know, there's easier ways to get rid of aptasias than chilling them out. :-)

If you need anything that I can offer, please let me know.

[LuckySingh]

Thanks Allan . Tank is back on line just with 10% of its actual inventory . Been spin water changes and nitrates are down to 15pp . Also my huge 10" naso won't make it . He been not doing well since that day and today he been resting flat in sand bed . Thinking about just grabbing him and putting him out of his misery . Just can't make up my mind
