Can't stay away

Hello,

I took a 6 year break but now I am back. I went on a 2 week vacation and had a non-reefing friend house sit. Well a week into the vacation I got a call and he said there's water everywhere and I got shocked trying to see where it is coming from. I told him to just shut the power down at the breakers and I will deal with it when I get home. I found out when I got home a return line popped off and the pump sprayed water everywhere and on outlets. That must have been why he got a shock. Everything was basically dead when I came home. I only had a school of chromis for fish and they somehow made it. Lost over 100 different types of coral mainly sps. The tank was low tech and I never had any issues so I didn't expect any. Now I'm back.

I've had my tank running about 6 months now (150DD). I use the Zeovit method and also dose other bacterias like microbactor7 and vibrant. I added a few inexpensive corals to make sure the tank is ready to be stocked with more expensive sps. The only fish I have is a Moorish idol. He is fat and healthy. I figured if there is a time to have one this is it because it would be easy to acclimate him being the only fish. He won't get picked on and can focus on eating stress free. It worked. Soon I will start to adding other fish.

BTW this time I used all hard plumbing and glued it.
