Padanky's 72 Bowfront, after partial melt down. (1 Viewer)

[padanky]

As some of you may remember, back when we had a few super cold weeks. Well in the those weeks I had replaced a Digital Temp Gauge with what I found out later to be about 13 degrees off. Ended up boiling my tank at about 91 degrees for atleast a week. This caused a lot of corals to die, if not to die they bleached. Lost a lot of SPS PIF frags, bleached my LTA, Candycanes, lost some fish too. Glad I didn't give up on it.

Here is a before Video taken by Tony AKA "TNConcepts"

Can we see a FTS? Tank looks like it bounced back nicely.

 

[padanky]

Thanks guys! I'll work on getting a FTS. I now need to start adding a little, if any of you local guys want to clear up your tank a little, lmk.

I have a bta for trade, not sure what color. The one in the second pic is actually split in two. Got it from DustinB.

 

[DustinB]

It's supposed to be a GBTA.

 

[padanky]

Thanks Dustin, the GSP frag you gave has really taken off and I have it growing up the back wall now. And the Candycane is getting really big too.

FTS

Only Livestock is the three Tangs and two Perc's. Nems and Derasa.

I think you should add a sandsifting goby or two, they are really cool.

 

[padanky]

Had a diamond goby, died its second trip down into the sump. Lawnmower goby jumped out of my 40breeder I had set-up temporary. Need to get something though, I agree.

[padanky]

Don't tell me that Tony! 72gallons would send the new floors in my Formal Dinning and Living Room into the trash. Tank isn't what you seen before but it's catching back up. Lmk when you wanna cone check it out again. This time bring me those neon green candycanes, lol. Just sayin'.

 

[padanky]
