djchristone Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 SO...A NEW BEGINNING! If some of you have read in the hardware classifieds, my tank has gone to hell. From what it used to look like in the previous pics, it now looks like this: when it used to look like this...though this fts definitely doesn't resemble anything like it did before I let it go die... Sadness...Unfortunately, while I was busy slaving away to finish my masters, my tank got completely and totally neglected. No water changes, no nothing for a year. Just topping off by my dad. So now I'm back and going to turn this tank back around to what it used to be like! Currently after a good cleaning, though taken before the 30% water change where I siphoned off most of the algae on the back wall and rocks, looks like this: Amazingly, my 2 black clowns from my old 20L clown breeding project where still alive and kicking along with the YWG I raised since he was a baby (no bigger than 3/4 of an inch). The Arabian pseudochromis was no where to be seen though probably for the better considering there was an aiptasia outbreak. Don't really have the funds to go all out so I only have 5 blue legged hermits (whic h have mopped up a good amount of algae I have to say) and 3 peppermints in there (got yesterday to start taking down aiptasia). And as you can guess, most of my corals have died leaving only a hand few behind. Metallic green and red mushrooms, a couple yumas, some brown zoos (unfortunately )...most of the rarer collection I prized before has perished. No more blue zoos with and kind of red, green, or brown rim. No more PPEs or RPEs and other nicer zoos/palys I collected... But no more whining and complaining! This tank'll be stronger than ever! I'm back and off we go. Link to comment
