Hey guys. So 1 year ago, I had a tank crash due to my own mistake trying to kill blue clove polyps. So now I need to take the 225g tank down. Here are some images of the tank and corals.

Here are some pictures of the corals:
That's a beautiful SPS tank. Definitely a nightmare for all tank owners. So sorry that happened.
I nuked my first tank when I tried to kill red flatworms with FW Exit. So I feel your pain.

Nice colors on those sticks. That’s a huge difference in water volume.
Did you use calcium hydroxide?

I used pancur c (dog dewormer) per other forum thread. But mostly my fault for not fully dissolving the tablets before adding to system.

it’s temporary for right now. Just mainly trying to keep my purple tang, yellow tang, pair of mated clowns, and rhomboid wrasse. ( don’t call the tang police…haha)
Why did you just not restart with the 225g?

I wish…tank is coming back strong. But possible structural issue with tank (top middle bracing is getting loose. And also my son needs his own room. Haha
Get your priorities straight man — your reef tank and all its animals vs your son. You son can always sleep on the couch, garage, or even your vehicle. However, these animals need a play to live — it’s for their survival!
Be kind to the animals — just kick your son out! lol
Hahahaha

Wow, that was unfortunate that had happened. Fenbendazole can be tricky to use to treat blue clove even Ali was afraid to use it to treat one of his tank. He eventually done it, but had to do a very large water change after the treatment.

Just to clarify, just showing some of the glory days of the 225g. Lost 85-90% of corals. Cause I’m getting some PMs about what’s for sale.
I’ll post up some pics of the temporary setup once I get rocks and water in it.
