tetraodon Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 ive had these yumas for several years, always grew like weeds and never had trouble. until recently, i had most of my 20 plus yumas melt slowly. nothing was out of place, no other coral affected. i even had some green mushrooms right next to the yumas. the only thing i can think of was my adding of a biopellet reactor. yet my green mushrooms havent had any trouble, they improved in fact. im wondering if it was the reactor, unless i missed something.

CJJon Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well, seems there might be a correlation. If the tank was doing well, why did you add anything? Might want to take the reactor offline and see if they improve. Lugols dip too might help. Although it sounds like they might already be gone. Anything else you can think of? Who produces your water, both for mixing and top off? Anyone clean anything around the tank lately? Link to comment

Anyone clean anything around the tank lately? most are gone, the rest i gave to a friend, all my water is my from my well thats RO filtered, and i use reef crystals. i added the reactor because i have some sps corals and have some predatory fish, so i wanted to make sure the nutrients are controlled. the only person who does anything with the tank is myself, the tank is in my bedroom, and im a long time fish keeper so i know what i can and cant use around my tanks. it was just odd, the first one to show symptoms looked like it was exchanging water like it does every now and then.

CJJon Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hmm, how did they do in your friend's tank? Maybe it was the drop in nutrients. What's good for SPS, not so much for rics. The more I think, the more nutients make sense. If it was copper or lemon pledge, most of the stuff in your tank would be unhappy. Yuma's can be hard to keep. Sometimes for no real reason they melt away. Link to comment

Sometimes for no real reason they melt away. thats what i was reading, yet when i first got them several years ago, i didnt expect them to do ok, but they basically took over my tank, i couldnt kill them, at the peak i counted 30+. the ones i transfered were really bad off, so we will see Link to comment
