    After suffering a devistating loss of almost all my tank due to my bio crashing.The red slime had finally dissapeared and the tank is starting to come back to life.I recently purchased a new diamond gody and man that thing is a work horse he cleared up what was left of the mess on my sand.Now this time I am gonna have to move a little bit slower.Instead of the tons of fish I had I am thinkin on just possibly 1 blue tang, 1 kole tang , and a powder brown tang and possibly 2 clowns as being th new tank inhabitants.I am starting to smile a little bit seeingt he tank come back but the loss still kills me.

    Most of us have been here before.

    Live and learn. I'm glad you're recovering and the tank is recovering.

    What I found out yrs ago in the marine tank hobby is good things happen very slowly and the bad things happen really fast. This is why I'd never use a instant enzyme or freeze dried bacteria or bottle of bugs to start a tank ..Not saying you did . I like to bring them along very slowly..You'll get it this time..Karma to ya.

    I was tempted in the begining to use the bag of bacteria but no I did it the patient way.
