patback Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Is that a yellow chalice in the background? With pastel colored mouths? I got a frag of one and within 3 hours of it being in my tank 75% of it bleached from the middle outwards. Over a few months it reached 99% . No clue why, since it was slowly acclimated in low lighting and alkalinity was always stable. It's still alive but looks terrible. If I didnt pay 80 bucks for it I would have taken it out already.

You talking about way in the back? If so that a OME chalice. Its actually green on the body. 3 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Today was the day..........was up at 5 and in the garage gluing rock together at 6 yes issues........ anyway got the rock handled then it was time to drain the swamp......cleaned up the fuge / sump and am going without the fuge now will see how that works. May just run some chaeto in there will see. May just be a frag tank down there who knows..... I drained it entirely and removed all sand and scrapped all coralline algae from both the display and the sump. Replaced all the bulbs in the T5 figured its time and can burn them in while it cycles a bit. Anyway here are a few pics and waiting for the the tank to clear..... 7 Quote Link to comment

I saw he had some and was probably ordered for a customer who flaked........ Jeff had a skimmer for a customer who ordered then found out hey look I cant get it under my tank you think they would measure first...... 1 Quote Link to comment
