I never thought I’d have to write something like this, but I’m starting over from absolute zero.
My reef tank was intentionally contaminated and completely wiped out. I lost everything — my corals, fish, inverts, anemones — all the life I spent so much time, money, and care building. It’s been honestly heartbreaking.
This hobby means a lot to me. It’s more than a tank — it was peace, therapy, something I was proud of. Right now I’m trying to slowly rebuild from scratch, and I’m reaching out to see if anyone might have frags, starter corals, hardy fish, inverts, extra stuff, or even advice they’d be willing to share.
Even the smallest frag or cleanup crew member would mean more than you know.
Thank you for reading and for being such a supportive community. I truly appreciate anything at all.
