So...... I go to work and all hell breaks loose. fellow staff members are yelling and the girls are screaming at each other, Management is freaking out because nothing got done and are more focused on what didn't get done throughout the day rather than helping out, and we were still getting these admissions and had no room for them. Single rooms were getting turned into double occupancey rooms and other patients are very upset and vocalizing their opinions and basically getting ready to go postal. Two patients code on my floor and two more on the other halls. Very long day.
I some how get through the day, damage control complete, calming down the floor nurses and lending a hand where needed. I come home looking forward to just sitting down and realaxing. Or so I thought.......
I walk into the door and get this blast of stale saltwater in my face. I notice my lights are no longer on and figure one of the kids turned them off. I go upstairs to let the boxer out of her cage, due to the fact she can not be trusted loose in the house. I then go let the Great Dane out and put them outside. Still curious about the stentch I turn on the living room lights and what do I see? Holy Crap!!
My pumps are OFF, wave makers OFF, heater OFF everything was off. Some the the rocks had fallen and after seeing my Solar Wrasse I can see how. all the fish were breathing hard, Corals were looking as if they were all waxing and drooping and looked bleached, and the temp in the tank was 72.
To top it off, there is debris floating all over the tank and slime coming off ALL the corals. I could barely see inside the tank.
Right now I am not going to stress the fish out anymore than what they already are. Leaving the lights off, picked up some of the rocks that had fallen on other corals, like my Scoley and Sun Corals. The Yellow rim Turbinara looks as if it is shedding it's skin. Purple rim Monti broke as did the Red Monti. Running some carbon and the skimmer on high.
Did a small water change and I am hoping for the best but expecting the worse. All the fish look exausted and I can't find most of them even after digging in the tank picking up some of the live rock.
So there is my day.
