So I came home today, after a long day of shoveling snow, to find all of my fish dead. Don't know what the hell happened. My corals seem to be doing ok. Most of my zoos are open, my acans are fine and my shrimp is still alive for now. So I did a 5 gallon water change and turned up my skimmer. We will see what happens tomorrow.

Here's a Pix of the Remora installed into the Sump on the Lefthand Side.

Now my concern is my lights.. The green algae is growing still pretty fast.. My T5s are a little over a year old now.. Do you think that would help the nusance algae to grow and polyps to look bad?
Especially the algae.. the polyps have not been looking good for a ...
