OK, so this week I lost my eel, got ripped off from the fish store, lost one of the overpriced gouramis and at 6:00pm....

My f***ing reef tank broke!:WHOA: :swear:

Yep, just cracked in the middle, spilled out all over the carpet, salt water, coral, live rock, and one fish flopping around. The heater broke and so did the filter because some how rock landed on them.

I threw everything I could into my 5 gallon saltwater reserve bucket and thank goodness DH bought that shop vac Wendsday. Took me 3 1/2 hours to clean up the mess and stuff everything into a ten gallon. My starfish doesn't look good, already turning white and my fish isn't so hot either.:(

If the fish dies than to h*** with it, I'm bringing it all into the LFS for credit. Sucks though because I have a bid on 10 more pounds of live rock on eBay.

Oh fish gods, I surrender!:cry:
 
:cry: that sucks but, NOW YOU GET TO GET MORE FISH:mwave:
 
Nope, no more fish for awhile. I'm looking for a female red terror for the 75, but then I'm done.

No more saltwater period. It is a pain mixing all that salt up.

I'm broke anyways, just got some cool driftwood and a box of plants for the 75, and I have that stupid live rock auction I have to pay for because it looks like no one else is going to bid.

im sure if you tell him what happened he will cancel your bid. sorry about your losses.
 
Yessss!

I was outbid on the rock! It ends in 1/2 hour so I was getting pretty worried!

BTW, checked on the tank, the fish (wrasse) is dead. Too much stress I guess.
 
That sucks.. sorry about your loss..

Any idea how the tank broke? How many gallons was it?

This is why I am terrified of Salt water.... its so easy to lose everything..
 
That seriously sucks. I hate it when things just seem like they are going good and then there is that one week or so that is just horrible. It seems like everybody has the same thing in fishkeeping every so often. I have had my week too. Sorry about your losses.
