This hobby is humbling but beautiful. Thanks for being real and letting us all know the lows. Keep your head up and keep going.
You got me into the hobby and in many ways you've kept me in the hobby. This was rough to hear on the livestream and doubly so here. I hope you're doing ok, I'm sorry for your loss
So sorry 😥. This was a difficult watch. We can see how much you loved those fish and reefing. This hobby can be so upsetting at times. Take Care.
Few people have the guts to say that they screwed up, but believe me it helps those of us just starting out to know that we aren’t the only ones that make mistakes. Really sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss mate, thank you for being so open and honest alot of people wouldn't have done that.
I had the same thing happen to me and I will NOT ever buy a fish that's not Quarantined . We are responsible for the fish in our care.
So sorry to hear. Qt is always the best way. Good lesson
Thank you for posting this video, it must have been a hard one to do. I just wish everyone in the hobby cared for their fish as much as you do.
That was painful to see, so sorry for your losses, you are one of the reasons I got into and are still in the hobby. Thank you for sharing ❤
I’m very sorry to hear this. But as terrible as this sounds I’m glad you posted this because it makes me feel better after I just crashed my tank while moving and it’s nice to hear we’re not alone when mistakes happen. Most channels never show all the bad parts and it makes us feel like we’re the only ones to screw up.
Either way though I’m very sorry to hear that this happened and I hope you find a way to stay positive and engaged with the tank.
I’m about to move in the next month and I have about 9 fish in my reef tank and some coral I’m terrified to lose
Any tips?
@@BilBon13 My biggest advice is plan for everything to go poorly day of. Make sure your plan is bulletproof. And take your time. I have a whole video as to why it went poorly for me but long story short I planned on moving slowly but my truck died day before and I ended up rushing moving everything (house and tank) all in one day.
My best advice move your house. Then move your tank when it’s the only thing you have to think about.
Trials and tribulations of any hobby unfortunately, sets us back, and then pushes us forward to do better in the future. Keep that light shining, it will only get brighter.
So sorry to hear this, it must be devastating. Thanks so much for sharing it. To me, you are a very experienced reefer which shows things like this can happen to all of us. I too have lost fish and corals and you do feel helpless and sorry for the fish and corals that you lose, so I really sympathise with you. As you say, stick with it, we are all in this together as we love our reefing. Big hug.
I’ve been through this too. Family pets dead and family devastated. However I’ve now been through the journey of QT and now I’m so much better for it and feel so much more confident and responsible. If you too choose to go to QT you will likely influence others and will save hundreds of other people’s pets also. Please learn QT it’s not hard and opens new doors of knowledge. Good luck mate 🍻
Always quarantine if you can, if you can't don't even waste your time and money.
Sorry for your loss. Hope you find the love again soon.
I'm so sorry for your loss. No doubt you will recover, but don't give up. You are the reason and the inspiration for many of us to have gathered the courage and start their first reef tanks, myself included. I literally just finished cycling my very first, small, 20 gallon tank and I'm binging on your videos planning is future. I'm hoping to see more videos from you soon. And you definitely gained a subscriber here.
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing even the hard times in your journey. You seem to be a master of what you do and I’m sure the water box tank will be one of a kind once it’s back!
Gutted to hear this. All the best. 💙
Sorry for your loss mate, thank you for your courage to share with us. Can you signpost the 37% formalin you used , can’t find in uk and want to start quarantining future fish. Many thanks
I feel your pain and am very sorry. It’s been almost 2 years now that I lost my tank to a power outage during winter for 7 days. I lost coral and very old fish, 2 being 13 year old clowns. I have yet to set that tank back up. Im on the same page as you for fish being true pets and not just replaceable. This hobby will hit you hard sometimes for sure. I’m just now getting ready to set that tank back up. Just looking at it empty all this time just kept brining back sad memories. It’s time now though for it to relive its former glories, not to mention I’ve purchased and installed a whole house generator as to never have to relive that painful scenario again. Heads up brother, keep on pushing through and a smile will return to your face
Just gone through it myself , ID was fluke , first disease and wipe out in 30 yrs of keeping marine fish , I feel your pain .
I totally understand your feelings. Had the same issue some years ago. I learned a lot since. All new additions go through full quarantine.
I just went through something similar. In my ordeal I ended up doing a biopsy on a dead wrasse and identified the problem as velvet. Sucks but it’s great you shared so other can be aware and learn about QT
Sorry for the loss dude we all had downs this is just a dip in a bigger picture lad chin up move forward
Sorry for your loss. 😢
that sucks bro. You deserve more subs than reefdork. you keep it real.
Gutted for you. My reef was destroyed after 8 years by a super strong whitespot type disease. That came in with a shoal of Bartlet's Anthias . Lost Angels tangs a plenty etc etc I feel and hear your pain😢 Take care. We live and learn ..
Good for you for accepting the responsibility...much respect there. It sucks to lose them...hang in there.
All these years in and still no QTing 🤦🏽♂️
Feeding Garlic cures everything. 🤣🤣🤣
@@lchamp7946 😅
That was my q too, why no qting? I am sorry for the loss. But a little bit newbie action going on here.
I started a new 6ft waterbox last May 2022, since then I have Gha galore and spent hours and hours trying to solve it. Last weekend I spent a whole day taking rock out and scrubbing it in bucket again and yet the Gha is already coming back. Tried flux rx 3 times, tang gang, Mexican turbos (keep dying), sea hare (keep dying), fuge…… low nutrients…… you say don’t give up…. I don’t know what more to do
Sorry to hear that. We're all human. We stumble and we learn.
I'm glad you made this video, though not about your hard lesson. Showing the bad, the mistakes; is vital to the hobby keeping realistic expectations. We often learn more from our failures, and that of others. Than we do from success. And so, thank you for sharing.
Now, to quote my favorite author: It is not the destination which shapes us, it is the journey. The most important step we can take, is always the next step.
It's part of a quote which never fails to motivate me. I hope it lends some small aid to your own.
Sorry to see this. It happens to most of us at some point especially if your in the hobby a long time. Dont beat yourself up to much
Really sorry to hear this.
ive had a coral crash with 30+ heads of torch (my photo) but im still going. I found I was to new to the hobby to just stop with it and im in it for life.
my brother also had what you.just went through . one fish had something and after 16 months he added a new friend to the tank which took ever fish out over a 18 hour period.
your not alone at all man its all on our journey , stay up
Sorry to hear this sad news 😢 all the best for the future 🙏
My condolences on ur loss
My heart goes out to you mate
Keep strong and I look forward for your next video 👍🍻🍻🐟🐟
same here. I am sorry to hear about the deaths
Oodinium i belive. Wiped my tank for a year ago. It kills so quickly. Then a half year ago the tank leaked and i got a new one and lost most fish again on the process and alot of expensive corals. Now im still losing corals... recently my OG bounce and other things got bad. Pretty fed up myself
Thankyou for this video. I hope in the future you show us what you've learnt and what you'll do differently next time, so that we don't make the same mistake. I'd love to see the journey going forward. You're amazing mate.
So sorry for your loss. This hobby can be ruthless at time. Angelfish are also my favorite and hope you can move on, QT new fish and continue successfully in the hobby. We need hobbyist who care as you do!
Sorry to hear. No judgement from me because I’ve gone through the same thing. I now buy my fish pre quarantined but that’s not even a guarantee. Last batch of quarantined fish I had ended up with Ich even after running my tank 92 days fishless. Luckily I had meds on hand and treated immediately without loss. We do the best we can and sometimes we just get kicked in the balls.
Experienced this myself, after having fish in a 4ft tank, ii lost all moving then all into my new 200g , to velvet, when i adding a new fish too, feeling your pain
dang, so sorry. hang in there and dont give up brother
Been there buddy I’ve felt this exact feeling. Lost everything in a move. 150 gallon tank fully stocked. Moved the livestock a day before into holding bin and had a heater on my apex that apparently got stuck on but I didn’t have it on my apex that night. Was exhausted from moving everything and thought oh it’ll be okay for the night. Woke up to everything cooked and i was devastated. They were my pets and I said I was done. Gonna sell everything and even sold my tank. Thankfully I have amazing family and girlfriend who convinced me to get a new tank. Hopefully your video helps someone that doesn’t have as great of support as I do. Thanks for the video I know you’ll make a great tank.
dang. thats awful
@@jamesnguyen7069 yea not fun but got through it
Even heroes sometimes have to show their still human. And when people of the highest level of something have to show their humanity, it is a humbling lesson for us all. Hopefully someone will see this video and pay more attention to their own tank and consider learning more about fish disease, if that happens then your loss will not be in vain. Life is not always peachy man, no matter what you do in your career or your life, you will experience some dark days, just keep in mind that their is a light at the end of this and new inspirations will come! You will get through this and be better for it. The hobby, the job, whatever you want to call it, it is just you investing your life into something. Keep investing your time and energy and love into this and beautiful things will continue to happen.
We all know if you dont quarantine its only a matter of time before you crap out. Its a dificult expensive hobby and not for the faint hearted.
Chin up, mate! don´t give up! Dust yourself up and keep going
So sorry to hear this has happened 😞 .
Been there mate! Brings a grown man to tears!
Sorry mate, loved the angel tank. My disease ID is poor but Would copper have killed the illness?
This acc made me so sad because I get what your saying L love my fish and I want to give them the best life possible I’m so sorry this happened to you and I hope you get through it.
Hi Ryan
So for your lost, keep your chin up mate,
Ok you blew it but don't be too hard on yourself. You just burried a dream. Time for a new one. We will be following you. All the best and thank you for your great content.
Sorry to here this mate... keep your chin up and move forward! Life isnt life without dips like this
quarantine is sometimes sidelined with our impatience, very sorry for your loss, all the best for the future.
I feel your pain. Years ago I used to have Saltwater aquariums. At one point I had a 75 gallon reef tank and another 75 gallon fish only. I ended up converting the reef tank into freshwater but kept the fish only. I had a good balance of healthy fish. I had a big eyed squirrel fish, volitan lion fish, naso tang, yellow tang and a blue throat triggerfish. I had a chance to get an angelfish (I think it was a queen angelfish), so I added it. Maybe two days later my triggerfish acted strange and died that same day, lost everything else in the next few days! I had no explanation. I was shattered and I totally lost interest in the hobby. After that I sold all my tanks and haven't tried since. I wish you best of luck getting back on the horse.
Keep your chin up mate albeit devastating outcome.
Went through exactly the same thing this time last year losing some incredible fish in which I'd had for quite some time.
You'll bounce back from this creating something else fantastic .
Never easy losing fish regardless of species or value. There all personal to us in which we all spend time creating ''the ideal picture''
Good luck on whatever you do next 👍🏼
I feel your pain stay strong. I’m Just in the process of shutting my tank down after a crash. But I will be back bigger and better just as you will be.
This is why they need to make all these angels captive bred so they would be stronger and more hardy to disease like this
Tank Transfer Method when you introduce new fish.... or just get a proper UV steriliser and tune it's flow to deal with fish disease. We've had a few near complete tank wipeouts from fish disease before we added UV. Havn't lost any fish since, knock on wood!
I feel your pain, I had a similar thing last year & lost my prize koi tang which I won’t probably own again due to their price tag & my white tail kole which I will replace & it was due to a fish being sold to my partner without info & just added to the MDT now I Qt all fish & run large UVs & touch wood all is well now 🙏🏼 left my tank fallow for 104 days too.
Onwards & upwards fella 👍🏻
Start the angel tank again i no how you feel I had a angel tank fully grown angels and lost them all in a week a few years ago
So sorry to hear about your lose , whoever thinks fish are replaceable does not get why we are in the hobby , even though you are also doing it as a business you will not have success if you do not care . Hang in there and I am sure you will come out of this stronger .
Do we need to QT if we just have a FOWLR system?
Yeah, keep your chin up Ryan and well done for making the video
So So Sorry to hear the bad news of losing all of your lovely fish , As we all know its like a kick in the stomach ,,
and it does get to you , especially if you've had the livestock for a long time ,,
Keep em coming ,,
Stay Strong ,,💪
I feel your pain,just been throu the same,lost all my fish,wiped out in 3 days,it was velvet,had most of the fish ,since starting off 10 years ago,added a new fish,couple months ago,first in over 5 years, stupidly believed my local shop,that all his fish are quarantined in meds for 2 weeks before sale,down to my last 3 weeks of running fallow,have had replacement fish in quarantine for over a month,can't wait to stock up again,first time iv had any fish disease in the 10years in the hobby,I agree these where pets not just fish.
This is why I QT everything
I so admire you for doing this post. That took proper strength. ❤️🩹
Chin up, bud. 👊
I had a very successful planted fresh water tank and i moved a couple times from different places and crashed
l'm so sorry to hear that,😢
Sorry for your loss but yea this sounds like velvet. Hope you overcome this and keep growing stronger than before.
This hobby is brutal. For me the highs don’t offset the lows when they happen. I take losing things very personally. Wouldn’t have been able to restart again if I lost it all.
It really does affect you. I had the same thing happen I researched on humble fish and came to the conclusion brook and it happened really quickly. By the time treatment arrived it was too late. It’s an awful feeling. I miss my old fish.
Sounds like velvet. Happened to me, lost all my fish. Took me 1.5y to slowly qt and rebult my tank.
I think this is a hard lesson anyone keeping marine fish long term comes to learn. You hear about fish disease, you watch all the videos warning you, but as is often the way in life you think "ahh that won't happen to me". Because you've been lucky, you've got maybe 10 fish over the course of years and never had an issue. But it is just a matter of time.
I had the same thing happen to me about 2 years in, disease wiped my whole tank and I also took it pretty hard. Now I QT every fish, it's not easy, but I care too much about the fish I have to roll the dice. And I'm not saying this to be mean Ryan, I'm sure you're already thinking the exact same thing. I'm saying it as a PSA to all those hobbyists who think they'll always be lucky... you won't... and when it happens to you it really really hurts. ❤
should of put organic powder ginger in tank.
The learning curve on fish disease is steep and often brutal. I've been on it and it's horrible. I don't mind admitting I cried my eyes out as I slowly watched all my fish die over the course of a weekend and felt powerless to stop it.
As you say, it's something that has happened and will happen to every fish keeper.
Once you've had a break and re-grouped, I'm sure you'll come back stronger with an even better setup. 😉
It's a tough hobby, just when things are going great..... that's when shit happens. I've had more heart break on the coral side of it. But when things go south, they go fast. Keep going.
Ryan - this was not an easy watch. You may have run a business for several years and you yourself alluded to losing some of the passion, but it is clear that you have not lost any empathy for the living beings that we all take responsibility for and losing them really showed.
You will bounce back, but it doesn’t make it any easier right now, that will take its time.
Take care fella and all the best with moving forward.
Sorry to hear bud. Hope you stay at it.
QT may have helped or they may have all gone in the same way in QT so dont beat yourself up. Thanks for sharing.
It`s very sad but you are better than most because it show you really care about your pets and it`s very hard stay strong.
I have learned over 30 years it's fish or coral I always start with wrass and and odd couple wait then add corals and I won't add any other fish ever
Water change 50%, run UV, run 14-21 days Rally Reef (water changes 25%) during the 21 day period, then another 50% water change at completion. Simplify or use No media other than filter floss / pads. No filter socks.
Eat time you add a fish over next year, do water change before added, run UV for 5-7 days.
I’m sorry for your loss.
So sorry to read this. In life we win, or we learn, there’s no such thing as a loss if it taught you something, not very helpful, but words I “try” to live by and remind myself of in darker times. Take some time to heal and then regroup
this exactly happened to me.I had all the expensive fish including kingi angelfish. I had tank full of angels tangs storm clowns. because I was in the mission to have unique fish. But than the judgment day came. I added a fish and brought disease to the tank..it spread so rapidly and killed all my fish. I was heart broken, because I was so attached to my fish and lots of emotions money have spent on it. After that wiped off I have just gave away all my tank and equipment. But now I want to get back to the hobby and for me bigger the better. I have justcame to know that Waterbox launched 8ft tank too which is like a dream tank to me. All I need money to buy that tank. I can feel your pain
I feel for you , I’m gutted when I loss a fish
Well im not surprised to be honest. You did rush things,
Gutted for you my friend. There is no way you would look stupid, Shit happens sometimes even with all the precautions we take. I know this may sound cold (its not meant to) but use it as a learning experience. Its true, you do get a real kick out of creating an ecosystem, but this event will make you a smarter and better fish/reef keeper.
it was probavbly velvet, Im sorry for your loss , don't worry my friend, you're not alone in this hobby in which we try our hardest to replicate their environment . Its no easy , just recoup, and don't blame yourself shttt.. happens . you loss some of your friends that you enjoy for years, It hard .....
Really sorry buddy ❤ God bless and please don’t give up the hobby needs u
So sorry brother.
So sorry to hear that. 😥
It is never easy to lose our fish
Sorry dude, it’s crap and it really does hurt. Had to remove all my fish this weekend and treat. Lost a Blackcap and a Tomini. It’s hard and unfair brother completely agree that they are pets.
Brook is a tough one. Easy to misdiagnose, difficult to treat, rapid to spread, and almost always fatal.
That sucks brotha, here's what i have had success with... old ass rocks, like years old, many years old, i like to buy my old tank teardowns for the rocks, whatever leaching from them I've resolved with metasprob. The bacteria and organisms present are impossible to recreate from bottle solutions and you'll want your system packed with live rock to seed new sand. Later remove live rock to have more space and whatnot. Best have a 55watt or better uv running. I run two one a diy at high flow and the other set for parasites.
Dude, I get it. Been throo it. Hang on. (And leave it empty for 10 weeks or more ... trust me).
All the other broken arrows and lost nukes.
