[Dinosaur]

This afternoon arounf 2+pm when I look at them they were still very active. At 5+ pm, all was gone.

Emperor Angel

Frame Angel

Lemom Peel Angel

Purple Tang

Bicolor Angel

Yellow Wrasse

3 Anthias

Regal Tang

some were lying at the sand bed some parked vertically bwtween rocks motionless, other missing

What happen?

In the afternnon, I saw my new clam emitting some whitish substance into the water could this be the cause? or is it becuase I used sauperglue to glue one of my coral to the rock?

What's wrong

Most of them weas with me for years already

[[d]3v|L]

Did you check your water para? Any pump failure?

Most probably your clam spawned causing water quality to drop..

BTW condolence to your LSs

[Dinosaur]

Just checked yesterday

Everything was within range

If I knew clam could do such harm I will never adopt it

[nleong]

Poor dino. Hope you get over soon.

And then we can go LFS scoop some fishes

[[d]3v|L]

BTW ur corals ok?

[Achilles Tang]

So sorry to hear of your losses!

Do you have any other organisms that are toxic by nature?

Sea apples? Cowfishes? Boxfishes? Nudibranchs? Did any of these die somehow?

A clam dying shouldn't push your system over the edge unless if it's already on the edge... what were your nitrate levels before this incident and what is your ammonia level

now?

Lastly, what kind of superglue did you use?

Dino

Sorry to hear about the loss.

[dradttg]

Sorry for your loss.

[Dinosaur]

Thanks for all the concern and condolence

I think I know what happen already

Nope, the clam was perfectly healthy

But while search for dead bodies found the sea cucumber stuck onto one of the power head

Is the toxic from the power head going to kill the corals too???

[Dinosaur]

Henf ark!

But the purple tang color fade away (the edge)

[IanJ]

Sorry to hear this.

Remove as much of the dead tissue from the powerhead/tank. Suggest a large water change with immediate effect.

[Creetin]

i guess its the cuke... mi condolences...

[AquaRa]

oh my god, it must been painful

[Achilles Tang]

Gee... how in the world did it enter the powerhead?? Did you not leave the basket/guard on?

Dino, I'm sure you have heard of a few reefers tank kenna wiped out by a 'cuke nuke' and every one of them is because they met an untidy end when they met with a pump impeller.

Reefers.... PROTECT YOUR PUMPS or rather PROTECT YOUR LIVESTOCK FROM YOUR PUMPS!!! ALWAYS have the intake PROTECTED!!!

[terryansimon]

can cukes climb up and over overflow boxes down to their doom? coz the PH that I will have is in the sump...or maybe a tunze next time and the chances of a cuke going through a durso pipe. well. is slim?

[DeepBlue]

bro....sorry to hear that....a great lost. sea cukes are walking time bombs(mines).....sometimes mishaps happened and the effect is heart-aching. Hope this will not deter you from reef keeping.
