Recently we bought a house and i moved my 60 gallon cube. Everything went well. Last week we during the storm we had a power outage for 2 days. Well the tank crashed and i lost 90 percent of corals. Fish survived. This is so depressing. My heart tells me to replace the lost corals. But my wallet says otherwise, such is life
 
It's worth a rebuild. Hate to see you go. My tank crashed 3 months ago and it was a depressing 3 months but once I started restocking the bug hit hard again
 
Wow that blows-----sorry to hear mike. Should have put up a post to see if anyone had a loaner generator----I just sold mine...and I was sweating bullets.
 
In few weeks i can cut u frags of everything from my tank free of course im just out on buisness trip now but if interested let me know dont leave plenty of good people here im sure will help a brotha out
 
Sorry to hear this Mike. Look at it this way, your move it over and now you can take it slow and rebuild over time. No need to stock all at once.
 
Sorry for your loss. I could also hook you up with some random stuff if you want to make the drive.
 
thanks for the support guys, how should I bring it back, all new rock or just keep on changing the water? fish and clam are fine, the remaining few corals look pissed off and closed up. help
 
IMO i would just keep changing the water unless you have a desire to change the aquascape. If so do it now. The tank is supporting your fish so no real need to cycle it again.
Maybe pull some of the rock out to clean it if there is a lot of dead coral.

I had a tank crash a few years back and it was very difficult to get back in the ring, but I couldn't be more happy that I did. My advice would be to take this as an opportunity to revamp your system. I don't care who you are, what resources you have, or how much planning you did initially but there is always something you end up wishing you did differently. Since you only have fish left this would be a good time to make any system changes you'd like to see done. Fish will do fine in a large bin with your skimmer and some flow while you work on the tank.

This is how I got back in the ring it gave me a purpose and goal to work towards
