Veng Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Bleached corals can recover, I've had a few successfully do it for me, even after Tailes said they were dead and to toss them. 1 Quote Link to comment

Update: The kat still has polyps, I think it may just be bleached, but man I don't see it coming back from this.... Nems are all still closed. Hammer, frogspawn, bubble all closed. but the GSP looks aight. So i got that going for me at least. my soul hurts by Roger Klein, on Flickr luckily I have a smaller piece of katropora on the opposite side of the tank, I'm not sure how it's doing though. Probably a goner too. yeah, but look at that...... 4 minutes ago, Veng said: Bleached corals can recover, I've had a few successfully do it for me, even after Tailes said they were dead and to toss them.

ninjamyst Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I really hope it can recover...it would be a miracle =(. Are you planning on coming home soon? What's the long term plan for this tank?? Quote Link to comment

What's the long term plan for this tank?? I'll be home next month probably. Long term will probably LPS/softy dominate, or if the rents want to tear it down, I'll sell it to fund my next build.

TheKleinReef Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah, when I go home in August, I'm ripping it down. My love of this hobby melted away with my SPS. Quote Link to comment

Im really really sorry man.... just take some time off. You know I know better than anyone how you feel but give yourself some time and you may feel differently. Could take months or years but once reefing is in your blood it never really leaves....trust me 2 Quote Link to comment

I can't even look at the livestream without being so sad. 4 years of Kat growth and some awesome mini colonies gone. This tank has seen more failures than successes. 1 Quote Link to comment

I know it's sad now but you will look back later and remember all the good times with the tank. When you come back, you gonna give the tank a big hug, clean it up, and it will be good as ever. 1 Quote Link to comment
RIP Sebastian Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Failures?!?!?!?!? Your tank is kickass! It looks a billion times better than mine! Quote Link to comment

I'm not one for pep talks, but I think the majority of tanks on this site, or anywhere, share this sentiment. Especially any SPS dominant system. One that really sticks out in my memory is Bonermans tank. There was a guy who's main focus was marine biology. He was a giant in the hobby, yet even his system crashed. Sit back, take some time off. (Stay away from crack, or meth.) The itch will return, and you'll be back spending money you can't spare to set up another tank. 5 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 And there go all the montiporas too... https://video.nest.com/live/mrkleinreef 17 hours ago, RIP Sebastian said: Failures?!?!?!?!? Your tank is kickass! It looks a billion times better than mine! As of right now, that's debatable. Lost corals: 10" katropora 4" enuis 2" stag 6" spongodes 5" digitata 4" birdsnest. Of course the bubble coral is fine, the one that caused all the f-ing damage. edit: parents confirmed all SPS are gone. Quote Link to comment
