Greetings,
I’m a long time lurker, but had to create a new account because I couldn’t remember my old account it’s been so long.
I’ve been keeping FOWLR tanks for 20 years, mostly in a 20 gallon. I recently stepped up to a 39 gallon two years ago and had been having great success with it as a mixed reef—fish, LPS, some SPS, softies, invertebrates, etc. with everything thriving and corals growing rapidly.
I lost AC for 3 days in August and suffered a devasting tank crash. My fish (2 yr old purple dottyback and a 10 yr old Randall’s Shrimp Goby) and a lone peppermint shrimp somehow survived through repeated large water changes after the corals deteriorated. Now, I have to move this week, so I'm trying to decide whether to pause on the hobby or somehow rise from the ashes. Looking for some guidance either way…
