12 Loooong Mr Aqua

it was doing well until i went on a week vacation. had my neighbors kid watch the tank for me. i think he overfed the tank and never filled the ato container like i asked him. ato container only holds 4ish days of water and i was gone 8 days. came back to return pump almost dried out, display tank half full of water with some micro bubbles still making its way to the display, 3 dead fish, dead snails and corals struggling.

first thing i did was got my tank filled up and salinity in check, removed all the dead stuff and did a large water change the next day. after about 2 weeks of everything running fine and corals began to open again i added a clownfish to keep the firefish (only surviving fish) company.









things are doing better now and wont be using the neighbors kid anymore

 

Tank looks amazing.

Awww dang on the neighbor kid. Don't ever let him babysit.

 

Not bad at all, did the trooper catch a jedi fish or was the force weak with him that day

 

ah man, that is too bad. I like to leave easy to read notes, the simpler the better.

I've read too many of these stories to lend my tank to just anyone. I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky that Todd_Sails is only a few minutes away and is the nice guy he is to help me out when I am gone.
I left with 10 gallons of RO/DI water sitting in containers right next to my sump. I also had 30ish gallons in the basement and saltwater ready. I do worry...

I think I have a problem... I was on vacation and I still texted Todd about my tank and bought my 93 cube (technically in Arizona) hahaha!
