About six months ago the heater in my ten gallon nano broke and it shocked and poisoned the tank. I was crushed!!!!
It killed most of the tank, the fish lived, and some corals were looking bad for along time. The one thing that did live that amazed me, was the anemone. After six months, and a lot of TLC, and time......... I did not want to give up on the coral that did make it, and the fish had made the tank their home. I changed a gallon of water every weekend a half with new water, and half with the water out of my 65. I'm proud to say the tank is back!
I have slowly put more corals in it like two small SPS colonies and some frags along with some anthelia zenai and some soft corals like a colt, toadstool (that made it ),
Green button polyps (that lived) greenstar (it lived also) and a feather duster (he lived also) and a few mushrooms. The growth has been very nice. All the coral that did show some life, have come back. The tank is doing great now .....here are some PIC's of the tank before and after .... I hope you like them.
I only have two fish in it one purpleback dottyback and a maroon clown. About 10 hermit crabs two turbo snails and 10 small snails and one sally light foot and a
peppermint shrimp and a sand star. The tank has (1) power head in it and a whisper filter on the back, just water movement so I can run charcoal sometimes, I have no skimmer on it a lot of LR. The lighting in the tank is from a 70 watt 10k MH Ushio, and two 6500k compact and two atinics. I still do water changes but now only every two weeks. AND A VERY GOOD HEATER........... I just wanted to share my story What I have learnd is that good things come to those who wait.
