mrn10 July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 Nothing more depressing than a tank crash. Been in hobby for 3 years. First time this ever happened to us. RIP Dijarni Sailfin, red hawk fish, midas blenny, 2 snow flake clowns, 2 dart fish, 3 grammas, fairy wrasses, blennies, ect ect.. Super duper depressing..

matt July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 I know you're pain. In a few days you can start daydreaming about new fish you haven't had before though. Every setback is an opportunity in disguise ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 I also know your pain. Many of us here have felt it. It's the empty-chest feeling of heartbreak. Deeply sorry. Get up and dust yourself off; learn and move forward. Don't let this keep you down too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn10 July 26, 2015 Author Share July 26, 2015 Not sure what could have gone wrong. Perhaps an electrical issue. Nitrates were also high, but so weird to have all eating and healthy when going to bed, only to wake up to a grave yard of every fish in tank.. We have multiple tanks, so have some fish/all coral in other tanks. Not all is lost, but a ton of fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 Sorry to hear. I would try to pinpoint the issue so you don't have to worry about it again in the future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel not fish July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 As it happens during bed time, its the time when ph gets down. Maybe if it was already down than got into dangerous levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunWyrm July 27, 2015 Share July 27, 2015 I'm so sorry. I know that hurt too. Hope you're able to learn what caused it and move forward soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave w July 27, 2015 Share July 27, 2015 Don't stay down too long. I've had several tank crashes over the years and was sorry that i closed down the tank for a while. I always got back into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM July 27, 2015 Share July 27, 2015 Yikes. Go to bed with live fish and wake up with dead. Seems crazy. Any idea what happened yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menglish July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 Man, I loose 1 fish and i am bummed for days. Can't imagine what it feels like to have a system crash. I do not want to ever experience this directly. Please share what happened so we can all learn from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangspeed July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 Highly unlikely that a PH issue would affect the fish. Your hard corals would die first. If you have a skimmer, PH should be fine. Do you have an invert that can nuke the tank? Like a sea cucumber. Or did you do something right before bed? -- Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neto July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 It happened to me recently, lost all my corals and I was fortunate enough to save all my fish... I am currently going through a cycle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob A July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 Sorry for your loss. I lost all my fish in a dosing accident about 3 weeks ago, it sucks but give it some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2nhle July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 Sorry about your loss. I lost most of mine SPS corals and a tang several months ago due hardware false function. It is recovering now. Lesson learned from mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 doubtful a cuke by itself could nuke a tank. If nitrates are high and another problem occurs, then it can easily spiral out of control because one part of the system is taxed. Do you have water test records or notes?
