What about the fish? How are they doing? Keep us posted so we can at least learn from this.
Sorry to hear about it, good luck finding out what went wrong. Chris

 I'm so sorry to read of your predicament. When your tank is up and running again I have a cali tort frag for you if you want it. I feel your pain five.five-six.

Do you have any Rio pumps? They have a history of meltdowns... Also, did you ever locate the sea hare or tiger cuke?
Sorry to hear about this.....

Pop the cap off the top of the 2100, the part that covers the top where the cord goes in. The epoxy seal below that is where you will see if there was any problems. The pump may still work, but if this pump is defective like many of these model, you will notice here a cracking in the epoxy and a definite smell. This could leak some topxic chemicals into the water. I have had this exact thing happen to me in the past with this same model pump. Symptoms nearly identical.

thanks, it sucks, i actuality vomited on the floor when I saw my giant 10" calli all white when I got home from work. you got to understand, i broke a tip off it last Saturday, it heal over by wed and i can see the encrusting growth on the dead skeleton the tank was running so good, surf n turf did the same thing in about 3-4 days I think it was the aquamedic moon light that fell in the tank, tank crashed at 6:15 pm, 665wife called me at about 8:00 at work to tell me that a powerhead was floating around in the tank, turns out it was the light. there is some brown liquid residue on it near the assembly cracks, it has not dried in 2 days and stinks like exploded capacitor Quote:
THANK YOU! I may very well hold you to that. it will be a few weeks if not months. I want to go stock tomorrow but the biggest part of the pain is not the $$$$ and there was a LOT of that lost, many of those corals took months to find... it will be a long road, but first I want to make sure the tank is running good the biggest hurt is that I let all those animals die, I feel so helpless and am overwhelmed with failure. incompetent and impotent. i just wish I KNEW what happened. I sent off a water sample to AWT water testing hopefully the results will shed some light on what happened

the worst part about it for me wasnt the LE's or popular acros that can be replaced as they are around. It was the corals I have no idea where i got them that turned into gems, dont even know what type of acro they even were, and will most ikely never even see them again. here is my 225.....I lost the 90 at the same time...... totally my stupidity and taking things for granted that caused it im over it and moved on....but still have that sour taste in my mouth.......look at my avatar signature

very sorry for your loss.....
Last year about a week before Christmas, I lost my 90 SPS tank that was running for 7 years +. I came home from work and the tank was 116 degrees. I lost everything....... I told myself I was through with the hobby. Within a week, I had purchased a 180g tank, had it drilled and have started over. I hope that it never happens again...... Good luck and have fun with the rebuild. You will be enjoying your new setup soon. |

If you need the ORP up and really need it and it's not going anywhere, I think it's wise to dose some Potassium Permanganate. KMnO4... This will bring up the ORP plus oxidize much unwanted stuff... It is a last resort... But it has worked for me once...

here is a little less than 1/2 my casualties, the big one used to be a gorgeous cali tort there are a couple Oregon's in there, a superman and small sunset monty  I left more than 1/2 in there several are so encrusted on rock that I will just leave them, the corraline will encrust over them and they will become live rock, I am still holding out hope for anything with that "live acropora smell" or the slightest hint of viable tissue like this decimated green slimier

Wow, just checked the forums, been busy. And I saw this thread. What a bummer. You think it could be the red bug treatment? When they go mass death from the medication, they can cause some nasty side effects. The light could also be the culprit as well.
