    alright it's been about a month since the cuke nuked my tank and killed all fish and made my corals miserable. Here are some pics 28 days later. I think the tank is about 75 percent of normal and starting to look a little more acceptable.

    Doesn't look like a cuke nuked your tank if you have that much still living. :-/ A cucumber will only expel its digestive track when it feels threatened by a predator so there is someone in the tank messing with it.
    Don't want you to give people the wrong impression on cucumbers as there are a great asset to a tank if you prepare a safe habitat for them.

    no it killed 100 percent of my fish and all of my snails and hermits. The cuke was stuck in my powerhead. A cuke's toxins affect oxygen in the water. That's why most of the mobile creatures were killed and most of my corals, although they really struggled, made it. Don't get me wrong this was absolutely my fault, not the cuke. I had the powerhead way too low.
