Well, I'm hoping I have reached the end of this chaos... I ended up losing close to 25 pieces *most of those being non replacable colonies* (of course it has to be the rare ones). Key pieces that I'm sure some of your would be sad to hear that are gone: Tri-color birdsnest *whole colony gone*, Micromussa *whole colony gone*, peach/green/white acan, LE Tyree tricolor acro, miami orchid, blue milli, pink milli, red milli, green slimer, green pocillipora (all three varieties I had), green hydnophora *the one that Josh was going to buy from me*, ALL my montipora caps *all 5 varieties*, the two pieces that I just picked up from F&S, my neon green brain *not my huge one*, purple torte, blue torte, maroon trumpet, and I'm sure that there are more than I can't even think of just typing this. Like I said this has been a big ouchy and hopefully this is the end of the issues.
Jason

I can frag a few pieces that I have of yours as well, but it really sucks to hear you lost so many whole colonies.  Do you know what was going on, or did it just seem to stop on it's own?

It's cool guys... I'll wait a while before I get any pieces as I want whatever is/was going on to finish running it's course. I do appreciate the offers though. I know that a few of the pieces on that list I have fragged to some of you and maybe when they get a little larger in your setups I'll be able to buy a piece back. But, for now I'll just hold off so that they don't just disapear again.
And Matt... yes it does suck lol. But, the one thing I will say "it can always be worse" at least I didn't lose my entire tank like the guy that two years ago Mary was trying to help out (he lost 10's of thousands in corals from his pumps quitting for a full week). So remember guys and gals... "It can always be worse" *well, maybe not... it could always be like dave faas where his tank melted in a fire... that might be about as bad as it can get in our hobby (sorry to bring that one up dave... but, I was just picturing the melted tank in my head again).

interesting we both lost the same type of milli's, I was able to save my miami orchid though. I don't have a bone cutters though. But yeah Time is the best. I don't even feel like replaceing the ones that I have lost. How odd is that. lol
