He decided that the sandbed looked a little dirty so he stirred the DSB. He hit a H2S zone and nuked every living thing in the tank. Bristleworms were dead lying on the rock. Chitons, amphipods, mysid shrimp, cleaner shrimp, fish corals, keyhole limpets, yada, yada, yada litterally were so thick on the sandbed that you could barely see the sand anymore. | Ouch!

| A waterchange will never hurt.
Did the smell go away and are all the tests still coming in regular?

| The smell is gone I am waiting for salt to mix for the change. The corals are looking good. |

He started apologizing profusely and I said, "I know but stop apologizing and leave me alone for a couple of hours". He's never seen me mad like that before and it had an impact.
After this incident, I set him up with his own nano so he satisfy his desire to be an aquarist but leave my tanks alone. |
