90g tank crash

[johnnydeez]

My 90 had a chiller issue, which apparently killed a coral. This led to a chain reaction that killed about 95% of my corals and livestock. I only have 3 zoa colonies, one chalice and very 3 very unhappy and severely injured stylophora remaining... 3 chromis and my clown made it. Lost flame hawk, flame angel, sail fin tang, diamond goby and my mandarin goby. Some corals that were lost are.... Walt Disney, huge red planet, tri color valadia, cb Valhalla, pc rainbow, master yoda, jf homewrecker, jf supersonic milli, orange hammer, purple hammer, green hammer, green octospawn, pink octospawn to name a few. I’ve been so depressed I’m just now posting. This happened about 4 weeks ago. I’m devastated. I don’t want to quit but so much time, money and beautiful happy corals/ fish lost before and after. Crappy photos sorry. Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear this, we love our tanks like children! I’ve learned that some things don’t really die, so you might stabilize the tank and get them growing again.

Sorry for your tank. SaltwaterGardening is correct. The survival mechanism is strong for most living things. I've had some that didn't make it but many i thought were totally dead have come back. It is a slow process but great to see.
