I think most of us would be scrambling to fix things rather than to document the disaster.

Look up Snipersps. He's a former TOTM and had his pre-dominantly SPS tank crash a month or so ago due to an extended power outage in Los Angeles. His tragedy was pretty well documented.

I'll get one to you in about a hour.If I can't post I'll email it.My tank crashe back in April of 2005.I left it running since.It is now free of alge and the water is perfect.I'm just about getting ready to put in my first SPS since the crash.You'll be able to see all the dead SPS,I left it all this time as a reminder what not to do.It's actually thriving with tiny critters,my shallow sand bed is loaded with worms and pods.

It's been ready for about 6 months.I've been trying to decide to keep it or get out.I decided to keep it.I'm going to redo the rock work,pull the death out and get some new frags.No more fish for me.Parameters have been perfect.One thing thats been growing like crazy are sponges,white,yellow it's amazing what thrives when theres nothing picking at it.It'll be nice getting some color back in the tank.I hope I can find another purple monster and purple bonsai,when those 2 died it hurt.....
