My Old 125 Gallon Tank

AlexBurnsRed · October 26th, 2009

I thought I'd share some photos of my 125 SW before tragedy struck and I lost all my fish. At least I still have most of the inverts =].

Djardin's sailfin tang

Feather Duster Worm (still with me =D)

Scooter Blenny showing off his fins

Redlegged Hermit Crab

Starfish (I moved the rock and ticked him off by moving his home)

Green Sinularia Coral

Green Button Polyps (they're really starting to grow =D)

I have starburst polyps too, but I can't find any pictures.

lol. third that. What happened? Did all the fish died?

Well, I had bought a Long Nosed Butterflyfish and had him in Quarantine, acquired some corals at the same time and put them straight in the tank, ICH was in the water, so my 125 then of course contracted ich and gave it to the fish I had in there, so I put them in quarantine with the butterfly (as I treat all my new fish for ich) and it ended up that the butterfly had septicemia and wiped out my entire stock in 2 days while in quarantine.

But I'll be getting a nice little Clownfish this weekend hopefully to start my tank again.

That sucks. Did you put the water from the LFS as well?
So is your 125 empty now? Can I see a pic of it? Any corals survived?

Hope it goes well

Hello Alex. So sorry to hear about your fish loss. Septicemia in freshwater tanks is not contagious. So I'm guessing (as I have no salt experience) that ICH wiped out your fish?

Yes, it was a bad couple of days.

Nope tank is still filled and the corals/inverts all survived. And the tank will be ICH free in a week in a half (left empty for 8 weeks), so I'm cycling my quarantine and then I'm going to get a nice little clownfish and start it up again.
