A very sad day..............


Well Saturday night, we had a storm going on, and the power flickerd....not even enough to cut the mwtal halide out.. but the pump (mag 7) burped, and snapped the lil ceramic impellar rod... so it was saturday night around 8 pm...
no stores open...
And Sunday of course was the Early up universal Stuidos family trip..
stores dont open till noon.. which by then we were deep into Universal..

So saturday night, i arranged my pumps to blow around more, had 2 aimed up at the surface just moving the heck out of it...
put a big pump in my sump (read powerheads)

Get home from The trip and my mated pair of coral banded shrimp are dead
I cant believe it, everything else looks great,, my clam is open all corals are great fish are swimming and eating.. i left the lights off besides the actinic power compacts to keep temp down..

I am very heart broken,, I mated these 2 at the store....i found a female with eggs and put a male in with her.. they have been together since then,,, almost 3 years...

Very sad and upset...
