I've been doing SW fish for 40 yrs!...if I could 'bring back' all the dead ones, I could restock all 100+ tanks at Maximum Reefs !

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

I never lost any fish!! I am the best reefer:redface:






J/k
I wish I could bring back all those fish they will be missed
Blame ich on most deaths!!!

Every fish you could possibly imagine. When I started my tank in 71 I used to keep records of the fish I had, when I bought them, how much they cost and when they died. It is probably 15 pages long.

 

[b-ridge]

lol paul B
And I thought I was the only person that did that? I have every receipt from every store I purchased anything. In a book is the day, the price, and the date whatever died

 

[oh207]

I keep an excel of every purchase, livestock, equipment, wishlist, etc. I started the list before getting the tank.
Here it is. Please be kind.

That is a nice computer print out but I had to do mine with a fountain pen on parchment as even ball point pens came out later. And the ink was made from squids

Paul was making markings in his cave with a round stone and a sharp stick

Lol. That is really old school.

I think the best thing to do is to log everything. Although sometimes I think there are some things that really shouldn't be logged, especially where big-brother is concerned.
