Well I already took out dead fish and most of the dead corals. I think the dead BTA is still in there some where. I’m about to start water changes and the long road to having a habitable aquarium.
While the disappointment does sting, I’m looking forward to redoing aquascaping and picking new inhabitants.
Cheers and stay warm!

My wrasses eye in my display tank is white now.

Not anything that has to be done now but pool equipment plumbing is hosed. Also worried about the heat exchanger in the heater. Normally the pump and heater runs when it’s less than 40° to keep things from freezing. Since it lost power it all had water in the lines and an exchanger.

here is the wrasses eye. I can’t get a good photo. It’s shiny white. Not sure if it was just cold, a mechanical injury or just something able to hold of him due to stress from cold.

Yep I have boat loads of 1.5” but not so much on the 2”. Crappy plumbers buying up everything so we have to use them.

Nope been around too long to see the troubles. I totally agree with you. It's difficult. But I've seen so many come and go. SteveB is probably the most dedicated to MARSH for so long.... I hope this isn't the end of another great person we've had before......
