metrokat Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Are the other corals doing fine? Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Are the other corals doing fine? Yep. No other corals are necrosing. Just a bad strand of slimer I think. 1 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yep. No other corals are necrosing. Just a bad strand of slimer I think. Must be, maybe just a slimer look alike. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Must be, maybe just a slimer look alike. Nah, i saw the mother colony it was fragged from. it was for sure a slimer. it grew like a slimer, branched like a slimer, but for whatever reason it got to a decent size and BOOM STN. it happenned 3x since the upgrade to the 65 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 request put in for a FTS. should be pretty sad looking without my slimer. one of my favorite acros and i can't keep it happy. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 More things STNing. Cool. Not sure the cause. Asking for parameters now. Sg: 1.025 Alk: 7.0 Ca: 425 Mg: 1250 Waiting on K I think it's the carbon. Too much rox 1 Quote Link to comment
Alex B Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Damn. I got back up frags of your slimer. What else is STNing? Might have frags of that too. Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I don't know much about slimers. Do they like higher alkalinity? Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 My tank has been at 7-7.5 for a year now no real problems.My myagi is showing signs. It was fagged today Those are the only 2 so far.I've had a small slimer frag on the rack for a while now. No STNing on that one. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 cut ROX in half. starting bi-weekly water changes now. hopefully this ends. Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 cut ROX in half. That must have taken a while to cut each little grain in half. 5 Quote Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 damn sps- my bubble gum sps just decided to look terrible yesterday- gotta run test today. I also run Rox in a reactor- small amount -2-3 teaspoons Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 That must have taken a while to cut each little grain in half. thankfully it wasn't me doing it. damn sps- my bubble gum sps just decided to look terrible yesterday- gotta run test today. I also run Rox in a reactor- small amount -2-3 teaspoons dang that stinks. :/ i think my parents had a full cup run passively. wayyy too much. when i left i had 6 tbsps... i dk where they got a cup from, or how long they've been running that much. 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 ROX shouldn't affect corals this way unless it took out the nutrients. In addition to STN, are you seeing lighter colors? Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 ROX shouldn't affect corals this way unless it took out the nutrients. In addition to STN, are you seeing lighter colors? in the kat and tenuis. but the rest are pretty decent. still waiting on a DSLR FTS Quote Link to comment
