Disaster......

[FlexLuthor]

Today I had picked up my first bta. I noticed some of my frags fell, so i tried to pick them up only to knock down all my rock work. It seems like one of the softies nuked my tank, maybe more than one.

Now one of my firefish seems to be clinging to life. The water smells chemically.....

Its late, and i have no rodi =(

my clowns seem ok, all the coral is closed though. The nems seem fine.....

You mean your tank is crashing?? If so I would do a big water change.. 40% if not more...

 

[ecchybridLE]

you should put some carbon in a bag and get that in there if possible. then get some fresh salt water and do a big water change as soon as possible. sorry to here about that. hope for the best

 

[FlexLuthor]

omg!
first sorry about this mods...can u please move to general...
guys thanks.....should i do regular tap change for now?

 

[beerfish]

You have no RODI unit or no water made?

 

[FlexLuthor]

actually both,
I usually buy target water, and make from there

 

[beerfish]

I would run out and grab some distilled, or even spring water at the nearest drugstore before using tap. If it were earlier I'd put some up for you, but I wouldn't be able to get more than 1-2 gallons ready tonight.

 

[FlexLuthor]

hmmmm.... now the brittle stars are coming out to reproduce???

[FlexLuthor]

ok the corals are starting to open up again..softies look in really bad shape though

 

[beerfish]

Soft corals are pretty hardy, but they'll occasionally pout for a few days then re-open like nothing ever happened.

 

[FlexLuthor]

im starting to think it'll be ok......but my firefish did die.......it cant be coincidence

 

[beerfish]

Sorry to hear man. Do some water changes as you can. Hopefully the fish will be the only casualty.

 

[FlexLuthor]

Thanks man. The lps is sunk in, but don't look like they're dying.....sigh....
i really liked that fish.

 

[FlexLuthor]

second firefish dying.....

 

[wonderballz]

Sorry to hear Flex. Hopefully that last firefish holds up. He's the last of the three. The softies should pull through. I agree with the person who suggested running carbon in the meantime.

Good luck

 

[FlexLuthor]

ok...two fire fish dead =(...now i only got a pair of clowns =(....
40% water change today...
we'll see how it goes.....

 

[AR0026]

How the tank holding up?

 

[FlexLuthor]

not great.....i mena the nems are alive, and the clownfish pair. The softies look like they're going to pull through. I am missing a pretty red mushroom though. The zoas are opening up again.
I don't have high hopes for my lps though. They are still sunken, and some of them are spewing a white jelly, which i think might be good.
I think all my brittle stars died =(, and i have not seen a copepod scurry around since =(....missing some snals, and herms.....

 

[AR0026]

Damn, sorry dude... Put if your water is still not stable, I would do more water changes...

 

[FlexLuthor]

everything is fine now...its the aftermath that sucks.....i havent seen a pod, or brittle star since, and my lps looks dead =(...my tank didnt even have a lot of stuff in there =(...snails pop seems smaller now too
