Back after a few months away, moved house today with mixed success. Tanks all in one piece, one box of fish was ok but the other one fell over in my van. I lost 3 discus and pretty much all of my Corys so a little deflated. I have one or two similis and my gold and orange lasers. Lost all of my weitzmani, sterbai, cruziensis, as well as most of my similis.
I also managed to crack a heater so the discus are going to have a chilly night.
Need to keep an eye on the water quality now, kept the media wet so hopefully it's not too bad!
And hi guys!
House move done - I'm back!

Sorry it didn't go to well.
Glad your in and sorted. How did you manage to crack the heater, you not got a spare?

Sorry for your losses Ben
That’s rough, i think deflated is a very calm version of how I’d be feeling

Cheers guys. Went to the MA down the road earlier and had a quick look. They had some less common species so hopefully they'll have a bigger selection in a few weeks once the filters are definitely ok. C.Robustus were the notable ones for me - no idea if they were the real thing or not.
I'll start new tank logs soon, big restart, big plans.
