    75 gallon set up for 4-5 months I lost track. Cal 500, Alk 13, Mag 1500, 2 koralia 3's plus Fluval Canister with rating of 260 gph. 4 x 65 PC which will be upgraded soon. Now have egg crate over the tank instead of glass Oh nitrate, ammonia nitrite and phosphate all at 0 and PH of 8.4. Temp of 78 - 80 steady. Any thing else you need?

    you go boy LOL ok here's the other pics and {Nano} Scenario's got pods out the ying yang!

    water is nice and clear. possibility here I just thought of??? over filtering? not enough food for them? he's got an emperor on the back and a fluval canister, plus a seaclone which is pulling gunk out.

    I really don't think this is going to make it, most of the little green polyps are gone from it, but I've got an idea...no don't say uh oh lol... see the red circles? are those new heads trying to come out? I'm thinking kinda like a tree, if you cut off the dead parts that are sucking the life out of it, will it not sprout new branches? just an idea and at this point probably couldn't hurt....

    recedes during the day polyps grow back out at night.

    gonna try to feed a little coral frenzy tonight to see if they're hungry

    The doctor is in. And yes I do have the pods out the ying yang. My new green spot is loving it. I posted pics of the new babies under tropical fish. So do you think I might be over filtering. And you ought to see the gunk coming out of the skimmer now. My seaclone is doing an ok job for now but I will get a better one. And that's weird that the frog opens at night and closes during the day. He is basackwards. LOL I wonder what those spots are that you circled on the hammer and I hate that its not looking good. Maybe it is new heads or it might be bad. We'll see. Thanks again gras.

    Anyone have thoughts on this. Could I possibly be over filtering my water. My GSP has not really opened up full yet either but does not look sick.

    I have a question, did you get both corals from the same place? Make that 2 questions, how long have you had them?

    I'm guessing that someone at the LFS touched the tissue and it got infected. It's common, unfortunately.

    i just want to know what kind of light do you use, generally frogspawn are real easy kepeper, they like flow and light.
