Vinegar Spill

Alright people, my dumb ads just spilled 4.5 gallons of 70% vinegar water into my 50. Clowns died within 45 seconds, nem detached, zoas closed, chalice color gone. I'm out of sw, ro, and other tank is drained for cleaning. Any hope of salvation?
 
That sucks bro, sorry to hear that. Find someone local to throw the living stuff in their tank maybe.

I don't know of anyone in the area. I have a small 15 gallon tank on my desk @ work about 20 miles from my house, gonna break of what I can and head that way
 
Sorry to hear that man good luck with everything keep us up to date on everything hope all goes well
 
I dnt know if this help but what about run to walgreens and buy gallons of water to prepare sw ..as a last metod
 
Just got back from my office. Only things that look like they will have a chance are the spas, except the utter chaos of course. Maybe, maybe the rainbow bta
 
How does this happen? First, I keep my vinegar bath bucket separate from my salt and ro buckets (no rodi system due to extremely hard well water, filters would last a month). So I go to top off 5 gallons, like I dip shit going, huh i wonder where that slight vinegar smell is coming from. Well because I just radiate brilliant thoughts I continue to empty the bucket into my tank. Then and only then did the bright rays of brilliance radiate on me, I started screaming no, no, God no like Steve Carell from the office. Now, i will admit I should be wearing a drool guard and helmet, my allergies were going ape shit. After sneezing 5x in a row, the aroma of vinegar whacked me in the face like a posses off silver back. Then my screaming started. Then my face looked a lot like Luke Skywalker after realizing his dad is Vader and that he tongue punched his own sister.
 
BTW, if anyone is wondering what a 6'1", balled headed, beared, tattooed man looks like crying like a upset baby looks like, let me know and I'll send you a selfish.
 
Oh no, I can only imagine, I'm so sorry! You did what you could, now try to relax, and don't be so hard on yourself, accidents happen. You need to start back up ASAP. & not dwell on this.
I may have a few things that can help you get going again, when you're ready send me a pm.

[MENTION=3136]IThinkItsDeadJim[/MENTION] Sorry I didn't see this until this morning. I'm in Aurora and can provide you with saltwater or a place to keep anything you couldn't fit into your office tank. Let me know as I am working remote today.
 
[MENTION=1483]IHaveCrabs[/MENTION] - Thanks man! Really appreciate that! Only a few zoas (barely anything to get in the work tank) survived and a small fragments of galexia. Everything else melted. I'm going to do a 100% water change, have to stop @ Aquarium Adventure for water, and get the bio/bac with live rock & sand from then work tank.
