    Hello everyone! I'm finally back again after a small hiatus. I had a serious crash in my little 20G tank a couple months ago. My Mag7 return fried one day while I was out of town and cooked the fuge. When I got home, the fuge temp was at least 110º, the only thing that survived was one blue legged hermet and a porceline crab. All my chaeto died as well.
    I drained as much of the dead water out of the fuge as much as I could. Well after that fiasco, my anemones both started to recede and both eventually died. My Maxima clam ended up dying as well. Both my clowns are alive and doing fine though, so at least it wasn't a complete loss.
    I also have some weird red growth in my 150G tank. My sand is pink/red, but it's not cyano. It's the weirdest thing, it looks like red coralline on the sand. It's also on the rock and is hard as can be, it doesn't scrape off.
    Anyhow, happy holidays everyone! :)

    sorry to read about your problems - but thankfully it was the 20 and not the 150

    Welcome back, Mike. Nice to see you again. :)

    Sorry about the crash. Highest highs and lowest lows, this hobby brings. Glad to see you're back in the show.
