    man has it been a rough week this week.my gf thingamabob of 2 years dog got put down sat. we went out to dinner to their familys fav restaurant to try and ease the grief and her sister(16 year old) coach pocket book was stolen containing $140 cash her cell phone, and her drivers permit.so i was staying at her house from fri night till late last night to help with things around the house and try to cheer them up as much as i could. i had my dad taking care of my tanks. i saw that bart my peacock mantis shrimp who i was training to be hand fed and was 90% successful was starting to molt so i gave the instructions to LEAVE THE LIGHTS OFF and putt the tank cover i made over it. im not sure if he really did or not but bart died. had to be sat or sun i flushed him this am early ( 4am). i guess he polluted the tank and caused it to crash. i had afew huge damsels a baby corris wrasse a tattoo urchin and feeder crabs also in the same tank but sectioned off to another part of the tank. all bodies accounted for except the wrasse . the only survivors were my small anemone...still dont know what kind of nem it is, a huge green leg hermit , some small blue leg hermits and some snails. i did a 75% wc to save the survivors. when i turned the pumps back on about 500 pods of different sizes flew out dead aswell... doing the water change made me late to my second job and the owner was here, got a minor scolding... thats it so :(

    only silver lining is i can now get afew cuttle fish for the tank bart was in

    That sucks man...Hope everything starts working out for you. I had to change my tire on the side of the interstate in a thunderstorm this morning on my way to a midterm exam if it makes you feel better.
