    :mad: Well, the Morphing is complete, the cycle is nearing completion, and the death toll is in :( I don't recommend anyone keeping their finny friends in plastic trash cans for a prolonged period, it just didn't work out very well. I had circulation pumps, air stones, live rock, heater.

    Maybe I could have done better but I did my best :confused: I placed them in their temp home on June 11th had the new tank up and running by June 24th. By July 4th I lost both tangs in their temp homes, by the 9th I went into panic mode o_O and spent the next two days transferring the fleet into the new home s l o w l y. I think the stress over the previous weeks was just too much.

    Loses; Blue Tang - - Yellow Tang - - Flame Angle - - Raccoon Butterfly - - 2 Clowns - - Lawnmower Blenny.

    I still have a Fox face, Yellow Watchman, and a neon guy that I don't even know what it is, and all my shrimp, crabs, snails, Zoas, and mushrooms, all doing well. More lessons learned and I march on, Thanks for everyone's help :D

    so sorry for your losses :( Sometimes the fish just can't cope. I'm sure you did your best in terms of keeping them alive.
