Major tank move from hell

[mmkeeper]

Last week I had to move my system in a hurry due to major financial problems. I had to leave everything in ice chest for over 36 hours before I was able to set the system back up. During that time my water temp dropped to between 55 and 65 degrees. All in all I feel I was lucky all LPS most zoos and mushrooms survived. Several sps frags and small colonies lost, Monti caps and some other SPS lived about 50%. Fish that survived, OC Clown, 2 pink skunk clowns, purple fire fish, chromis,six line wrasse. Losses Dragon goby two days after new setup and water warming. Sailfin Tang, kole tang.

I feel so lucky that I didn't lose all livestock.

I was amazed at how much survived the ordeal. Coral wise I lost a couple of nice pieces but not my best pieces. Fish it hurts that the tangs died, the sailfin was the best. However to see what lived. It makes me think about how much we baby this hobby and maybe we should relax a little bit and know how tough nature is.
