cmill5k February 8, 2010 Author Share February 8, 2010 so this is the worst update i could have given haha. after battling and finally being done with flat worms, none other than this fine storm we have gotten smashed this beatiful tank to pieces, i lost pretty much EVERYTHING after this there are a few corals and the clam on the way to recovery. to save what i could i set up a ten gallon by itself with all cleaned out everything because i didnt want to deal with the headache of the old system especially now since what is left is being sold including the lights and equipment. im going to most likely step back from the hobby once again after this one. dont have the funds for it now, sad thing was actually getn ready to post everything up fs after the storm but not gonna be too big of a list now i suppose after that. everything was running beautifully growing and thriving to say the least, my frogspawn had grown a second head and was working on a third with another mouth popping up, the lobo was doing great, the plate actually outgrew my tank and i gave it to a friend, the acan dropped 4 or 5 babies and was becoming a small colony. all of the sps were growing especially my hawkins enchinata which was my prize coral in the tank. it just sucks to see all the time and effort and animals lives go so quickly, and of course the money invested wasnt a nice thing to see go down the drain either. anywho heres the last updated pic i had taken about 2 or 3 weeks before the crash. if funds would have held up this would have been upgraded to a 20 l sigh...
