Life finds a way. I had a newly upgraded 55 for a couple on months, went on vacation, even had a co worker checking on it, but I didn't have A/C in the new apartment. It rarely gets hot in Vermont. It got hot...like 90's. I came home to a brown tank. The really sad thing is I was bringing back an old A/C from my folks house to use.
I pulled all the "good" rock, the one with the bleached palys and others. I ran it in smaller tank with a skimmer, basically to cycle and do heavy water changes. I kept the base rock and sandbed in the DT. I still have the green button polyps and striped mushrooms and much of the rock from 16 years ago, in a different tank thought.

Living in Florida, heat is a problem....need cooling not heaters.....when you buy things over the years, it is jaw dropping when it comes to replacing a major portion.
I have bought almost nothing, and already spent several hundred dollars on it....bought some pods for the sand, a couple fish, charcoal, salt, etc. ....haven't even touched the replacing of coral.....I am considering going to FOWLR ....I have always wanted a clown trigger

Almost 2 months since the move.... Little things are sprouting All Over The Rock.... Starting to get a ugly purple/red slime.
Just added the first Coral since the move, put a pipe organ Coral yesterday, it is looking happy so far.
Anyone have good suggestions on red slime?
I know I need to get some clean up crew all but one of mine passed away(poor little snails)
Snails and nudibranchs next thing on my shopping list
