Yellow Eye Tang has fishy dreams
I'm also so sorry for your loss. Heck I get extremely upset losing a fish. I had a 55 gallon reef for 7 years and it was my home away from home. My job was going downhill and I knew with a child and one on the way that I was going to have to find a new one. Because of my incoming son I had to sell the reef tank to provide room for him. I was all torn up about it as I helped a friend take it away but I knew it was the right move for my son. Two months later that same friend called me and told me that the heater stuck on and that everything was gone.

I pushed on after all of this and began having anxiety attacks at work. I took medicine for about a year and decided I would not be slave to it and quit it right on the spot. I went out and bought a new aquarium and began the hobby all over again. It totally worked! I sit by it and it calms my nerves big time. I have now been at a great new job and have not had any problems whatsoever with anxiety. Is it just the relaxation of the tank? I don't now but I DO love having this hobby back.
