Any reefers in Vermont?

EMERGENCY

I woke up to a flood from a seam failure and I'm hoping someone might be willing to take my livestock. Pet Advantage is closed and they're in a 5 gallon bucket right now. Not looking for compensation or anything, I just want them to survive. I'm just North of Burlington in Georgia and would be happy to travel within a reasonable range. Thanks.

Fish:
1 Tomini Tang
3 Chromis
1 Royal Gramma
1 Clown
1 Melanurus Wrasse

Coral/Inverts:

Kenya Tree
Toadstool
Various snails and hermit crabs

So sorry to hear that. I can't help, but I hope someone else will.

Until you can pass them off to someone else or the store once they open, just keep them aerated (a small powerhead at a low setting or a bubbler will do), keep an eye on them, and add some rock from the tank into the bucket. The rock will "mini cycle" the bucket, and you will hopefully be able to go without any ammonia issues. Good luck!

What a bummer, sorry that happened
If I had a larger thank I would definitely help out, bumping the thread at least.

@dcal1985 Dam.n man, that's a bummer. How big are each of the fish roughly, are they juveniles or adults?

I have some extra tanks (a 20 long, a 10 g, and a 55g stored in Waterbury) and a bunch of cycled live rock in a brute trash can, along with heaters and power heads. I don't have any extra water made up right now unfortunately, though I have a 100gpd RO. I'm available when I'm off work this afternoon at 3:10.

The fish all ended up dying unfortunately. I don't know how low the temperature had gotten but likely the culprit. I appreciate everyone's suggestions and offers to help. Man, what a bummer.

Double dam.n. That really sucks. Do you need someone to take the inverts or corals temporarily? I have a tank running in Essex that they could go into while you figure things out.

Well, after that terrible experience I'm going to take a bit of a break from the reef tank and just keep my fresh setups. I don't know if anyone is looking for any equipment, but I've got a pretty new Reefbreeders 48" V2 Pro light that I'd be willing to part with pretty cheap to avoid shipping. I can post a list of stuff if anyone wants, otherwise it will just go in the for-sale section and/or eBay.

Is anyone still active here...if so I'd like to get it going again. Maybe start with pictures of setups, and kind of get a common area going so we can exchange tips/tricks, and the like.

 

[hobie61]

still here. Thanks for checking in. Have updated to a custom 45 gal AIO peninsula tank a couple months ago. Starting add more corals and fish. Have a 35 gal AIO peninsula tank that i am no longer using. Let me know if someone can make use of it. Thanks.

I'm new here...and to the hobby. Just finishing my first cycle. Where ya from, and care to share a tank pic?

 

[taulgrl]

Still here. Actually just brought a Midas Blenny and Yellow Coris Wrasse home from my fave store in CT. Check out my build thread - I recently updated pics

I'm still here. I have relatively new pics on my build thread. Still dealing with cyano on the sandbed and algae on the rocks....my CUC from the spring didn't last long, just waiting for a good week to get some snails shipped.

Most corals don't seem to care, I have around 100 heads of frammer, it just keeps growing.
