All of this went down at the same time as I picked up the H1/N1 virus from my son.
Wow it's MUCH more widespread than I thought in OH.
Does tamaflu actually help yall with h1n1?
Last night on my way to bed I glanced at the tank and It was so cloudy I could not see 4" into the water. I only had about 15g of saltwater mixed at the time. Which did nothing. So Sara ran to Kroger's to get 75 1 gallon jugs of distilled water. Took about two hours to get water temp close enough for a 100% change. The stink was horrid. All SPS except a few pieces where completely white. 24 hours later all the softies and zoanthids seem fine but a total loss of hard corals except a couple of pieces that will likely die over the next week. About two hours ago all four of my clams spawned in my tank as my wife and I watched helplessly. My best guess is stress spawn. The big rubbermaid I bought is going to be used to hold whats left so I can tear everything down. I am just sick. All of this went down at the same time as I picked up the H1/N1 virus from my son.
Wait, why are you tearing everything down? Are you done for awhile?

Thanks for everyone support and offers to help. I would have asked for help but it was around midnight when we discovered the issue and did not want to share our sickness.
I have had my eye on a 125 gallon tank dimensions for quite some time that could be plumbed to large sump in basement. Prior to moving to it I was planning on tearing down and cooking the rocks as Nikki did. Have GSP and Green Implosion Paly's that have gone crazy over the past 6 months and are killing everything they touch. So with only a few corals to keep alive during the transition this is the opportune time. Another reason for the move is to add some stability with a larger water volume. I am so envious of people like Andy (Chromilux) that can have such small SPS dominated tanks and kept them healthy for the long hall. No easy feat.
If you wouldn't mind take some pictures and post up when you get it done. Especially interested in how you get through the floor.
Brian, I'm glad to hear you are taking this in stride. Looking at the 6' x 18" x 20" 125? I really like that size too.
Hole saw. Let me know if you need to borrow one ;D

I like both the 125 and the 180. So whichever deal presents itself first I will probably jump on. Looking for just a standard tank with no built in overflows. Amstar has one that I am going to go look at when I get over this sickness. He has the pump that I think will have enough head feet to push water up from the basement as well.
I would take you up on it if you were not so far away. BTW: The Garf Bonsai I got from you is hanging on for dear life right now. One of about 4 SPS that still has some polyps but completely white so likely will starve to death. The blue Stylo along with about 40-50 SPS was not as fortunate.

I was really embarrassed to of lost so much livestock but everyones non-judgmental support has been a blessing. Thank you very much.
