AND BTW, he has not had the ba--s to respond to my lengthy detailed text to him advising him what has happened since he touched my tank and telling him how disappointed I was with his services.

A man without ba~~s isn't a real man !

Hey Everyone on TFT forum
I am heading to St Thomas tomorrow (March 29 - my dog's birthday!) and also heading to Stratford and Hanover on March 30 (yeah I know eh?!)
If anyone has some reef tank "real estate" that they can loan to our fellow forum member, I can drive her beloved creatures to you based on Janice's time frame
Anyone ???
What is the remaining livestock that needs to be babysat (other than a single clown)?

There is so much good help here you'll never need to pay someone , although beer is always tasty lol, but seriously if it wasn't for a few members here I wouldn't have hair left , I think everyone's helped me , a few times but Eric has been there for me the most very honest guy and if he can't answer something I'd be very suprised that guys a reef guru and I always offer him beer or money for his time and always kindly declines , and there's a few people on here that are like that too I'm just glad Eric down the street from me. Any who keep your head up try not to think about it to much I know a few people who's lost everything and still stay strong and kept afloat , I hope some good in on its way for you . :)

We have a clown, a six line wrasse and a pj cardinal left as fish; a banded starfish and some snails; and our corals (all small except the fovea, which is about 4 x 4). Some of the zoa are glued on rocks so we could not take them out.

How bigs the tank again ? And you also had a tang in there with these fish ?

Thank you very much for the offer. Logistically I cant pull off getting the stuff that far, and AdInfinitum seems to think, based on my test results last night, that my cycling issues may be over. So I will cross my fingers and pray.

I've always thought the people on this forum are mostly a bunch of silly twits.

When your tank shows signs of distress, everyone knows you can just remove 25% of the water (place in a dark, clean receptacle), replace with cold, fresh, RO water (not DI!!), stir for 20 minutes, then remove the 25% that is fresh water and refill with the original salt water removed. Good for algae, aiptasia, flatworms and reviving dead fish. Always check for PO4's in the water before and after. Any excess PO4's should be skimmed out with a small net.

I agree - it does seem that you are past the worst part

Amazing offer of temp housing AdInfinitum - thanks !

Maybe I'm doing the math wrong, but doesn't this result in a fairly big shift in your final salinity? If you started at 35ppt, you'd go down to ~26, then back up to around 28.5ppt...

Or is this a joke?? The line about "reviving dead fish" really makes me wonder...
