No, I haven't. But I think I will. I can't say whether it's a design defect or a manufacturing defect, but Avast should know that at least one of their probe holders failed.

So between the barely rusting SS bolts and the dripping red rust magnet, my gut tells me its the magnet, but I can't be sure.

So this just happened.
Murder Suicide by my magnifica. Decided to take a walk into my closed loop inlets. First walk in the last 2 years!! I'd list the fish but it's just too painful right now. Every one dead except the two clowns. Corals are so far looking ok. Waiting for an emergency delivery of 200g fresh saltwater by Austin of California Aquariums. I only had 20g on hand. (Can't say enough good things about he and Elliot.) In the meantime I'm skimming wet and set up two large canisters of carbon.

Water change done. Corals look good so far.
I haven't yet come to grips with how many fish I've lost. And they were my dream collection!!

Well, the clowns and all of the corals made it through the night. The water is cloudy, but I attribute it to a bacteria bloom from the massive water change.
My wife wants another anemone, claiming it and the mating pair of Picasso's were the star attraction in the tank, particularly to our guests. That's true, but I'm not so sure she would have the same opinion if she knew how much I had invested in those fish. I don't think I want to take a chance like that again. So this is what I lost and how long I've had each: Gem Tang -- 3 yrs Femininus Wrasse -- 2+ yrs Regal Angel -- 3+ yrs Interruptus angel -- 3 yrs Choati wrasse -- 3+ yrs Johnsoni wrasse -- 4 yrs Candy basslet - 6 months Ornate wrasse -- 3+ yrs Joculator angel -- 1.5 yrs Genicanthus melanospilos -- 1 yr Copperband butterfly -- 1.5 yrs Flame wrasse - 1 yr Desjardini tang - 1.5 yrs Poweder blue tang - 4 months 4 - threadfin cardinals - 1 yr Flame fin tomini tang - 3 yrs Kole tang - 3 yrs Chocolate tang - 3 yrs mandarin - 4 years blue stripe pipe fish -- 4 days (!) Ughhh!!

Art I feel sick just looking at that list and knowing what those fish cost. I don't know if I would have the strength to carry on with the tank

maybe its time to add a secondary source of flow. redundancy is key in keeping a healthy tank. Could add some powerheads.

or was it just that the mag dying polluted the water column too much?

I have a ton of flow. What happened was the mag moved from his rock onto the inlets of my closed loop. A bunch of tentacles were ripped off and sucked into the impellers, chopped up and spread into the water column.

Thanks. I've never experienced a total wipeout before. Don't really know where to start. I guess setting up a QT is the first step then seeing what's out there to buy.

Again my condolences, what a terrible loss. I hope you at least get some joy back as you plan new fish and get a 'redo' button on your fish selection. Perhaps a small amount of lemonade out of the lemons? |
