Pbh Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Colors look great - my birdsnest is always losing color as it grows (good color on tips but not the rest, you seem to have kept all the color on yours. I don’t know what causes mine to bleach like it does another coral I thought of for you - maybe consider a pipe organ ? Quote Link to comment

So far so good. 🤷♂️ I haven't thought about those really. However I have seen them and they do look great. I would be worried they would take over. 1 Quote Link to comment
SURVEYMAN46123 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Picked up a few new zoas from a local reefer today but it will have to wait until I reveal those. here are a couple new photos though. 4 Quote Link to comment

SURVEYMAN46123 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Dealing with a small patch of what I believe is cyano. Not sure what the best route to remove is. Lights off for a couple days, multiple waterchanges, chemiclean? Quote Link to comment
SURVEYMAN46123 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Last night I also lost my colony of Rainbow Hornets. Just melted away over a couple days. 😞 3 Quote Link to comment

gone_PHiSHin Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 in my experience the best way to combat cyano is more flow 1 Quote Link to comment

I would add more, but COVID-19 ya know. 😞 19 hours ago, gone_PHiSHin said: in my experience the best way to combat cyano is more flow I've upped the flow in the tank. Removed the spinstream nozzle and turned the sicce 1.0 all the way up. I've also decided to try out chemiclean just in case there is something in the rockwork I am unable to see.

SURVEYMAN46123 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hope everyone is staying safe out there. Nothing new is going on with the tank. Had some cyano issues a couple weeks back, and upped the flow to keep it away. The additional flow really pissed off the acans and sadly I have lost them. The cyano took out the rainbow hornets too, which was a bummer, but life goes on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
SURVEYMAN46123 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Newest top down of my little nano. Lost the rainbow hornets due to the cyano issues I had a while back, and I also lost some flesh on the yellow favia because of the cyano. Decided to get that frag off of the sand and glued it to the rockwork. 3 Quote Link to comment
SURVEYMAN46123 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Video from today. Things are really coloring up nicely, getting good growth on the new Zoas, and I haven’t killed the SPS yet! LOL Only issue is the yellow favia. Starting to loose some flesh. Not sure if it was the cyano outbreak or something else. If it was an alk swing I feel I would see other corals with issues. 🤷♂️ 3 Quote Link to comment
SeaFurn Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Amazing as always! You’re gonna have to share your zoa tips with me. Those things are so temperamental for me. I feel like there’s always a delay in seeing the impact of an alk swing in my tank. Hopefully that’s not the case for you. Rock on with the SPS! 1 Quote Link to comment

Lets hope there is not a delay. Actually this favia has been showing this issue for a week or so now. As for the zoa's, its so hit or miss. Paly's grow so much quicker for me, which is what is in front of the tank. The only thing I do for my corals is feed once or twice a week depending on how lazy I am, and use brightwell coral amino. I was always afraid of SPS, but I seem to being doing great with these. Maybe cause they are easy strains or I'm a MASTER! LOL 2 Quote Link to comment
Pbh Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 It’s always so annoying when a coral doesn’t do well and you don’t know why. My acan has been retracted for 10 days or so, can’t figure out why at all after testing parameters. I’m gonna try dosing iodine after someone suggested it but who knows if that will help 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment

Pbh Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 And just like that the acan is bouncing back! I really appreciate when successful people talk about coral and fish losses, it helps normalize it! 3 Quote Link to comment

SURVEYMAN46123 Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 A few newer photos just cause. Growth is steady, and hopefully this rock is covered by the end of the year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
