Well it is beyond a doubt dead now. Crabs eating it. So I just want to know - can salinity have that huge of an effect on a coral? It died within...
Picture of torch coral.
I'll post an image from my iphone asap. Regarding slowly adding SW - I have an ATO system drawing from an RO/DI vat downstairs which is controlled...
It's acting dead - tenticles just hanging over the side. I directed some flow over it which blew the tenticles out of the foot - but when the flow...
Salinity 1.21 Ph 8.06. KH 214 Temp 78.9 Amonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates - very close to zero, but don't have a digital meter I won't be able to...
I purchased my first LPS frag, which is a green torch coral about an inch in diameter (the foot of the coral). I have it placed about half way down...
However I suppose the safest route, especially considering my past disaster with Brooklynella, is to qt one fish at a time over a two week period,...
I have several questions. First a little background. I have a 72 bow front and 20 gallon sump refugium. Reef octopus skimmer, about 80 lbs of live...
Ok so maybe someone can help me with this. I have had my FOWLR tank up and running for about 9 months now. I have purple growing on the back of the...
I was completely in the same boat as you, and gambled by adding fish from an extremely reputable LFS that quarantines their fish for at least a month...
Yellow Tang didn't make it. The clown is still hanging in there and actually might be improving a bit. He is in the QT tank, which despite 50%...
Yep saw him this morning. He is covered in white film. I have watched him swim towards 2 rocks, pick them both up and very carefully inspect - but...
Well after the initial advice no responses. But I still appreciate the original responses. Tonight our Hippo Tang succumbed to the Brooklynella and...
Need a little advice. Have had the Yellow tang in a QT tank dosed with Quick Cure (Formaline, Malachite Green) for a week now. He still seems pale...
Update - well after writing my original post here, I wrote to my LFS and filled them in on the situation. The owner didn't get my email until the...
Wow guys - thank you for these responses! Seriously the boost helps, and I'm thinking now that I may take option #2 and just try to feed and reduce...
I am so beyond upset - mostly with myself right now - for being so stupid as to purchase a fish and not quarantine it first. I last year I spent 3...
Oh and typically the tub in the basement will just have freshwater in it - just happens to be mixed with salt currently. I can easily switch between...
So just a quick update - sump is up and running. It was an incredibly involved job getting it together, drilled, and especially under my established...
Tank drilled perfectly - whew. And 1 3/4" works perfectly for a 1" bulkhead in case anyone wanted to know.
