Thanks for all the encouraging words and support. But you're right Alex it could be worse. Btw sorry about the regal shoot me an email with a picture and I'll take care of it.
It's not a total loss, but enough to damper the mood, even if the corals survived they're in no shape to be brought the Macna. But after a few large WC to remove ammonia released by all the rotten fish and die offs, and getting a new skimmer pump overnighted since the hold one blew from running dry, I can assess the damage.
My guy sent me this photo that started it all yesterday when he was greeted by an empty tank, and snails feeding on a yellow tang.
Photos of the aftermath. It's interesting to note that some corals look as if nothing happened, while others didn't even have a chance. Even the same frags from the same colony reacted differently to being exposed to air overnight. Only the SPS and LPS sufferred. All softies survived.
RR Godzilla gone. SOTR and Blue Eyed made it.
Tyree's Wow Factor will make a comeback. Pink lemonade not so much.
WWC Yellow Tip barely hanging on, so is Tyree's Pinky the Bear.
One Red Planet made it, the other didn't. Both from the same colony
SSC looking very rough, but might just pull through.
Milka Stylo isn't going to make it. This was an auction item too.
Another auction item no more. CITR Red Dragon colony.
One of my back up pink lemonade colonies looks like will survive.
"The Ent". =(
These didn't even have a chance. Mostly high end.
Even the montis show loss of tissues. But should bounce back.
