My 2 year old 75

h2o is correct that I had a medium crash. I was in DC on vacation when a fish decided to die in my powerhead and proceeded to spray ammonia onto the corals. Atleast I think that is what caused it...could of been a combination of things. I don't think I will ever know.

The tank is really bouncing back well though, which is really good because I would have had to break the whole thing down before a complete crash. I am going to move in 1-2 years and didn't want to lose all the coral. I was literly a day or two away from posting a come get it thread.

In the end the only corals taking a serious hit were my green slimer (very weird), ORA neon green birdsnest(lost almost the whole thing), armor of god zoas, blue stag, purple monster (over rated), pink birdsnest, and Oregon blue tort. In retrospect it could have been a lot worse and my non-reef friends seem to think I am over reacting, but they don't obsess over the little things like us reefers do.

With that being said, I was able to stop the STN by generating some large/medium sized frags of blue tort and green slimer. They are currently growing out, but are doing really well. I am torn about what to do with them...

I also have two frags of neon green polyp ORA toadstool leather encrusted onto some rocks. Its the one in the top right corner and really is a pretty piece. If anyone is interested shoot me a pm.

On a positive note, here are some pics from the fish tank at the Natural history museum. It was amazing and perhaps the best display tank I have ever seen at a public venue. I feel like I must share something positive about my DC trip.









Lincoln at night, always worth seeing.
