Cintax Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You'll be fine, just do a few water changes and run the carbon. Link to comment
MFChop Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Merci mademoiselleThe clowns are from Absolutely Fish in Clifton NJ (they were having a red dot sale!) The corals they have are stunning, most are over $150 but they had amazing deals on colonies for $40 and $50 for this sale. I wish this forum was like facebook I could click and upload. How are they there? Im about to take a drive over today or tomorrow Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 How is the tank responding, it has been a couple of hours since the incident. Hope your tank residence are okay ... Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 they should be fine...palys may have some nasty stuff but in a tank that runs carbon it should not be an issue...its not an issue in my 3 gallon... Link to comment
aaron1987 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I added more carbon, did a 10% water change and threw out the offending palys!Oh please don't crash!!!! Take that water change and make it 50%, and then continue 25% changes until everything is dandy again. The key to averting crashes with WC's is to be incredibly aggressive with them. Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Okay: update. Saved the day. A couple of mushrooms and the rose coral are still pissed off, Zoas are back to normal, Birdnest shows polyps again. WHEW wait you threw out that colony of awesome purple/blue palys? I did. And I refuse to rescue it from the trash. How are they there? Im about to take a drive over today or tomorrow They are simply awesome, everybody is very helpful. Leave your coat in the car the store is always extra warm. How is the tank responding, it has been a couple of hours since the incident. Hope your tank residence are okay ... Doing much better thank you! they should be fine...palys may have some nasty stuff but in a tank that runs carbon it should not be an issue...its not an issue in my 3 gallon... I have other palys, specifically green leopard palys that behave themselves, do not slime, and have a gorgeous luminescence/florescence with my moon lights. These purple ones were terrorists. Take that water change and make it 50%, and then continue 25% changes until everything is dandy again. The key to averting crashes with WC's is to be incredibly aggressive with them. You are right, I had enough for another 4 gallon change but the temperature wasn't matched, but the tank seems to have recovered (except for the rose coral and some mushies). GOTTA GO! Frogspawn is awaiting pickup from MA. Link to comment
