    That had to be impact of some sort--Did you have a goby or anything that could have shifted the sand under the rocks??

    that is without doubt, an awful experience to have gone through
    I can imagine how you felt when you heard the noise
    only takes one rock to fall and the rest tumble after it due to the surge of water rushing

    Take your time and i'm sure you did this. Look back and take a deep breath. I know this sucks for you and I am so sorry for your loss. I have lost much myself after hurricane Ike in Houston. Don't start again until you are ready. It took me a very long time to want to have a tank going. Just the loss of one fish in my tank tears into me. I know you can imagine when everything in my tank died. There was one survivor though I had a snowflake eel that lived through it for 3 weeks without any power. I did not find him until I cleaned the tank out and he was still alive and doing well now. I have lost many in the past, but learned much in the process. When you are ready you can rebuild and make it much better than before. Again I am so sorry. O I really love the Majestic Angel (my ablolute favorite fish).

    My God, that must have been horrible to come home to. I can't imagine how you must feel. The center brace on my 75 in the living room has been damaged for a while now. I think I'm going to re-enforce that tank next week... Try again bro... It's a great hobby.

    Jesus! Just looking at those pics sends shivers down my spine, not to mention all my hairs standing on end. This tragedy plays over and over in my mind, hoping that that will never happen to me. Am really sorry for what has happened to you, thats every reefer's nightmare. I hope that you can over come this obstacle and move forward. If theres something that I can do to help, plz let me know.
