Need to vent a little so here goes ...............................................So I get home this weekend from a vacation to find the majority of my acros and some other of my sps white as snow. Best I can tell one of my t5 reflector clips rusted out and a piece fell into the tank. All my inverts were in bad shape too (I think all my shrimp died as I haven't seen any since I returned). So far I have done two 50% water changes and moved almost all my corals into my frag tank. After the water changes the urchins and other inverts seem to be back in good shape and the display seems to be headed back down the right road again (none of the fish seem to be affected at all). So far my losses include a grapefruit size tri color valida , huge cali tort and several frags, rainbow pocilipora, huge pink/turquoise millie, blue and green (like blue voodoo) acro colony, green acro colony, ora blue bottle brush, granulosa acro, green frogskin acro, sunset monti, season greetings monti, tubs birds nest, pink birds nest, blue stag, red planet. Gotta love this hobby :frusty: :frusty: :mad2: :mad2: I guess now is a good time to rebuild the display ....On another note if anyone has frags of the above for sale (or other nice sps) in the near future I'll be looking to restock, once I'm sure the tank is safe.

Well between work and other tasks on my plate my tank is still in the holding pattern towards recovery. I did determine that before I left on vacation I somehow unplugged the Ca dosing pump on my two part system so the ALK is my guess what the issue actually was (although I'd guess the extra metal pieces didn't help).
The process continues.......
