My wife called today while I was hunting saying all the fish in the big tank in the basement were dead so I hurried home and it is a complete loss. Pulled as much as I can for now some of the corals might make it and fortunately the same cause of the big tank failure also isolated the frag tank which didn't wipe out. So now looks like it is going to be a few months rebuilding and then restocking once everything else is back on track. Once I fond my phone I will add some pics but man its depressing

For now I have isolated the main system and will let it cycle and then start to restock come Christmas time unless things are progressing faster for some reason

Hey guys, It's the wife here. One of the outlets he had everything plugged into failed, so water wasn't circulating and it wasn't being heated. They got too cold and suffocated. Unfortunately, I didn't notice anything, and wasn't at home when it started. He lost all the fish, some he'd had for more than 12 years.
