But at least it was only the one coral. Absolutely. I definitely had my butt clenched for a while after it RTNd. 1 Quote Link to comment
cobra2326 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Any nutrient swings? My tank felt bullet proof til my nutrients bottomed out. It’s much more sensitive now. I also have a theory that corals get slowly weakened over time and then RTN is triggered by a stressor that wouldn’t normally cause it. But that is totally unproven ? Quote Link to comment

That sounds like a reasonable theory. To my knowledge, there hasn't been any huge nutrient swings. I feed quite heavily every morning (5ml yeast, 4ml Acropower, 4ml Reef Energy A, 4ml Reef Energy B, 2 Scoops Reef Chili, and 1 Cube Mysis/Calanus daily. Quote Link to comment

I'm getting outstanding growth on some of my sticks. Here's the growth I've documented for the past 6 days (from this past Saturday to today) Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Nice! All that in just a few days. You're doing something right Quote Link to comment

You're doing something right I'm chalking it up to a stable, mature tank. I'm also feeding the coral a ton daily too which probably doesn't hurt: 4ml Acropower, 4ml Reef Energy A, 4ml Reef Energy B, 2 Scoops Reef Chili, 5ml Cultured Yeast 1 Quote Link to comment

I ended up moving a lot of my acropora frags up to the display tank or selling them off. I still need to order that replacement array from you lol... I picked up a new piece from the LFS this weekend. It's a maricultured millepora and is on fire! It is a brilliant yellow, orange, and green. Fluconazole also took care of this previously bryopsis covered zoa colony! Here are some other fun night shots: 4 Quote Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Haha I literally cannot catch a break with this tank's equipment. My light pooped out in a weird way and I am sending it to Dave to fix tomorrow/Tuesday. Good thing I have an extra 4 bulb ATI powermodule laying around to use temporarily. Moral of the story, always have backup equipment...... 1 Quote Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Sent light in for Dave. Also got my phytoplankton in. Apparently it's in a gel suspension and is stable for 18 months, which means it can be dosed! Untitled by Xiaoxi Yang, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 My panda goby finally got big enough that he wouldn't slip through the overflow slots! Moved him into the display tank. Some assorted coral shots under 3B+, 1P+ T5s And finally but not least, the JF homewrecker is pushing out branches. 5 Quote Link to comment
