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.

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.

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

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.
