Disaster

Lived in So. Cal. my whole life until a couple of weeks ago. Moved to Colorado. Successfully brought all my marine critters with me. Then one disaster after another hit. Lost all but one hawkfish. Time to start again.

    Oh dude - sorry to hear that. I lost my whole tank of 20โ€™ish prized fish due to Velvet before so can relate. Hope youโ€™ll rebuild and glad youโ€™ve also brought our SoCal vibe to Colorado! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Moves can be especially tricky sometimes..balances get thrown off. Rebuild, regrow, fresh start. Always a good time too

    โ€” Enjoy life, be nice!

    Yeah, that's tough and I'm sorry to hear. Moves can be very stressful for all involved.

    Yikes, rough move. Good to hear the hawkfish survived - best of luck on your rebuild.
