metrokat Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Light? check for pests? pics? Link to comment
jball1125 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 The lights are good. Sol Blues at 16-21-20 and about 13" from the piece thats bleaching. I have a clam at about 19" and its doing beautifully. No pests that I can see. The only thing that has changed is the flow. I removed my mp10 because I felt that even on the low setting it was too much, its been at least 3 weeks since I removed it though. The other SPS seem to be doing OK?? Everything else is doing great. http://s918.photobucket.com/user/jball1125/media/IMG_1319_zps593efee4.jpg.html'> This green sylo doesnt have the best polyp extension but its been growing pretty fast. http://s918.photobucket.com/user/jball1125/media/IMG_1320_zpsd0857e5c.jpg.html'> http://s918.photobucket.com/user/jball1125/media/IMG_1321_zpse21dce57.jpg.html'> My only other two pieces of sps. http://s918.photobucket.com/user/jball1125/media/IMG_1323_zps1f896934.jpg.html'> http://s918.photobucket.com/user/jball1125/media/IMG_1324_zps550fbcad.jpg.html'> Link to comment

metrokat Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Frag the dead portion off. Superglue the RTNing portion. Lugols dip. Just some options. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yea I'll probably try fragging it. What's RTNing? Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 RTN = Rapid Tissue Necrosis Link to comment
jball1125 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 RTN = Rapid Tissue Necrosis Thanks man! So gluing the necrosed tissue prevents it from spreading? Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks man! So gluing the necrosed tissue prevents it from spreading? The idea is that the glue creates a barrier to the advancing disease. I prefer to frag a ways ahead of the RTN and keep the healthy portion. This way the severely diseased part is at least out of the tank environment. Link to comment

Seems like it might be more effective than the glue, thanks for the help. Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Some new additions. Love that red zoa to the left of the green one. Is that Crazy Ladies? Link to comment
jball1125 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Love that red zoa to the left of the green one. Is that Crazy Ladies? Thanks, honestly I dont remember what they were called but I think it started with a "U". Out of these 3 the only one I know the name of for sure are the Sunny D's. I know I suck with names.

jball1125 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 So I bought a Koralia 240 to see if the bit of extra flow will help the sps out a bit, man that thing is small! You really cant tell how small it is till you see it in person. I also bought a mini tunze to place in the bottom back by some dead spots, very cool little pump. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Not to self: SPS really do like a lot of flow. Just 2 days with the tiny Koralia and they are all looking sweet! Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 How strong was the mp10 in that tank on the lowest setting? I'd rather keep it IMO. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 How strong was the mp10 in that tank on the lowest setting? I'd rather keep it IMO. Yes I thought I didn't need it, appears I was wrong. Link to comment

Gramophone Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Nice new stuff! Maybe you can put your SPS closer to the MP10? Link to comment
jball1125 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Nice new stuff! Maybe you can put your SPS closer to the MP10? Thanks! Actually the problems started because I got rid of the mp10 thinking I didn't need it, I was wrong. :/ Link to comment
