Well not the worst but along the same line. One of my 2 30 gal refugium glass cracked about a week ago. I lost about 30 gallons worth of my 29 gal setup. I had the display and 2 30 gal glass refugiums to increase the total amount of water circulating through my tank. Good thing I have redundancies built into my setups and didn't suffer major loses other than a little higher than normal ammonia levels do to the high bio load in the tank and lowered amount of water volume.

Well Im glad you didnt loose anything.

I did lose some stuff but I'm happy it wasn't a total system crash.

Lost a about 15 pieces of electric green Acropora formosa that I was growing out to post here and 5 pieces of orange/pink capricornis. An anemone and some crabs. But other than that it wasn't a total loss.

Well that sucks.

Sorry to hear that.

Hey looks like you have lots of sps

I want to get a small frag for my nano. I have 48W right now but I am going to upgrade to 72 at least.

What sps can live with the light I have?

I do have really good flow fyi

Well That was almost all my sps. But I think that the wattage that you'll have will be enough for them. They are real difficult to grow and keep.

Sorry to hear about your losses.
That sucks.
Cleaning up a large amount of water that has been spilt on to the floor is never fun.

Which is why I have placed tile in my the room with the tanks and keep a border around anything that can possibly get wet in case of a leak.
