I've been frustratingly busy lately and the tank hasn't gotten the attention it deserves, but nothing seems much worse for wear. I waited an extra week between water changes a couple times but phosphates still tested at 0 and nitrates at .2ppm. The alkalinity and calcium did drop significantly because of the lacking water changes, so I've got to add a little extra to get that back up.

 

 

I was procrastinating on sending in my light for repair, but it seems to have sorted itself out for the moment. Now that that seems ok, my Aqamai has started cutting off and flashing red, which means the rotor or something is blocked. I've cleaned it out twice but it keeps happening. I can take it out, wiggle the blades a little, plug it back it, and it starts back up. Need to check on my warranty situation there.

 

I tried to treat the aiptasia with lemon juice but it didn't really work. I think I would need a much smaller needle to inject into the side of the aiptasia so instead I just ordered Aiptasia X since it seems most people have luck with that.

 

Lily has those same patches she had a while ago that popped up overnight! 😱 I'm wondering if it could be the aiptasia that stung her? Definitely makes me think that there's SOMETHING in there that's causing this injury, not a disease or parasite. She's taking it in stride and acting normal, so I assume she'll make a speedy recover like before, but I gotta figure out what's doing this. 

 

I will probably pick up another peppermint shrimp as that seemed to work at at least holding back the aiptasia. I think my emerald crab also died sometime last month and I'm not sure what the cause would be. I saw a lifeless body that I assumed was a molt, but I haven't seen it for several weeks now. I might get another one of those as well.

 

In STUPENDOUS news, I won another bounce mushroom from my local club in another photo contest, but this time it's a WWC OG bounce!!! I feel famous 😎. Guaranteed to be prettier than the somewhat blah juggernaut bounce I won a few months ago. And maybe it'll be a cash cow! My close-to-worthless blue spotted mushroom is throwing out babies left and right, so hopefully he can teach the newbie something. The ricordea also seem to split like crazy. I'm going to be selling a rock full of the orange, and another with a few of the greens on it ASAP to make a little more space in the middle of the tank. Anyway, keep your eyes out for that OG in an upcoming entry.

 

So, photos!

 

I managed to get a nice enough shot of the flaming unicorn acro. Mostly green but you can see the pink starting to come out! So excited to see how this coral grows.DSC06582.thumb.jpg.2e4633852fb25ca3b3fb5e6609f0666d.jpg

 

This smaller pipe organ (the piece is smaller, but the polyps are also) is super finicky. It will close all up for days, then be full and open again for a while, then get mad about something again. I want to figure out if it just gets agitated easily, or if it might be a signifier of some specific thing that is off in the tank. The yasha and pistol have made a tunnel over to the other side of the rock right behind this coral so the yasha uses it as a little stoop/stool rest. So cute, hopefully I can catch a pic!

The cyphastrea catastrophe-a is chugging along. And such a beautiful catastrophe!

DSC06634.thumb.jpg.e69a6752dc3967414f078c5120db298d.jpg

 

I at least put some putty over the other side to hopefully deter it, and be able to peel it back easily. The gonis seem much happier now, they're usually extended a good bit more than in this pic. Those zoas in the bottom left aren't blocked off and I've noticed a couple little polyps floating around the tank. I think the cyphastrea is decapitating them! Need to fill in that area too. The putty just looks so dumb, and if that's my only solution it means there will always be sheets of ugly white putty on my rock.

DSC06685.thumb.jpg.e02fba9b5e9b9b6089ef7e84f58555c9.jpg

 

Still haven't improved the gorgonian's stand, so it's still falling over. Doesn't seem to mind. I love this shot because it shows what a dense forest of branches it's turning into!

DSC06624.thumb.jpg.042c28f23d597ae59ca664a783ca96ea.jpg

 

Oh and the hydroids are still thriving. They've grown and branched a lot, so might be a lot easier to identify at this point. Anyone know? I'll probably just have to google that all over again.

DSC06644.thumb.jpg.4174fe19244b60ad92e1857546ba863a.jpg

 

There's also these beautiful little feather duster worms that seem to have increased in number. I've always wanted a coco worm so bad, but figured it was probably out of the question as I know they are difficult to keep. I'm curious if these things thriving is any indication of my tank's ability to keep a coco worm healthy.

DSC06668.thumb.jpg.07db6011589ffe38a10c24af5b64eed4.jpg

 

That's about all that's going on at the moment. Love that this tank seems to finally be really stable and smooth even though it hasn't gotten perfect care in the past month, KNOCK ON WOOD 😅

Everyting's looking super nice - awesome mushroom prize! Pretty jealous... haha - that cyphastrea is looking killer! I think a coco worm would be really neat of course, but only one real way to find out if it would do well  ;]

Top down Tuesday is a thing, right?

 

IMG_20190916_231043.thumb.jpg.992c91af6a81bcd245fd7bdf1da411f2.jpg

I sold off the extra ricordea taking up space in the middle and am quite happy with the roomier layout!

 

IMG_20190916_231125.thumb.jpg.288f91760e3e790e709e2b7b4d224a4f.jpg

Really quite proud of all these SPS working out well so far.

 

I've kinda been ignoring the digitata but it's getting huge!

IMG_20190913_224313.thumb.jpg.18e79ce9a264d120a04e85cdfe4e02ca.jpg

 

This mushroom in the middle/right I think is the same species as @billygoat's Maw. It just finished eating but you can see in this picture the extra mouth that formed during one of my dino blackouts. Most of my shrooms usually grow a new mouth before splitting, but this one seems content to stay in one piece. The rhodactis (i think?) on the left is my "juggernaut bounce" that is actually starting to look a little more interesting as it grows. I also sold all the little baby blue spotted shrooms that were crowding the area.

IMG_20190916_231222.thumb.jpg.389d74871d84225615575c5abd40217e.jpg

 

I think that's all the top downs I've taken recently but I have a couple more cell phone snaps for ya!

 

You can see the yasha's burrow is right behind the mushrooms in that previous photo:

IMG_20190916_235404.thumb.jpg.f0d5db9eb6712c87f4b5271b6ce0de2c.jpg

 

Monty's been cruisin' and probably enjoying the extra open sand as well.

IMG_20190913_225659.thumb.jpg.4b451449e08af1c92d3bec9124833141.jpg

 

Lily healed from her last white patch incident and seems to be doing great. Oh I also finally glued the gorgonian to a bigger rock! It's super happy. You can see the thin skeleton showing on the tallest branch where it had fallen into an acro before but it's already healing quickly, with new flesh growing up over the skeleton.

IMG_20190913_224949.thumb.jpg.6163a489a8c3788bc0355aa1c030f969.jpg

 

Only coral concern I have at the moment is my black sun coral that is losing flesh at the base. When I first noticed this there was a thin layer of some transparent neon green algae stuff on there. I blew it off and it hasn't been seen since, but the flesh continues to retreat. There were some vermitid snails nearby so I removed those. The zoas are also starting to surround the piece. Lots of possibilities. We'll see how it goes, but if it doesn't turn around this could be my first major coral death. Also, the pink sun coral are pretty close to this one and doing really well so 🤷‍♀️

IMG_20190913_222614.thumb.jpg.260ec422fc2f0c4c0877127606b99c86.jpg

 

To end on a positive note, don't you think a couple extra beautiful rock flower anemones would look great right about herrreeeeeee:

I agree that it looks like a Discosoma neglecta mushroom, although the coloring on it is quite striking. Not sure how you came across one of those as they are rather uncommon in the hobby, but pretty cool nonetheless! The large marginal "arms" are a distinctive feature of this species. That and the fact that it eats fish. 😅 But yours is pretty small still so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

 

The tank is looking fantastic! I love the amount of negative space around each of the islands in here; it makes the system seem a lot larger than 30 gallons. Rock flowers are a great idea as well! They are some of the most beautiful inverts around and I for one am very pleased with the two that I have. They are very hardy, eat anything, never go for inconvenient walks, and have incredible colors. They also do very well in groups.

Finally have more time to update! It's kind of one of those good news/bad news updates though.

 

I think I'm having a nutrient issue in the tank. I KNOW I'm having some kind of issue at least, and could use help figuring it out! 

 

My green slimer acro has turned brown 😱 and the oregon tort and flaming unicorn lost a bit of their color as well. It seemed like overnight they suddenly lost a lot of their green tones, and the slimer has continued to turn more and more brown. They also all have poor (but existent) polyp extension, including the milli and spath. The day before the brown out I changed the water so maybe something went wrong there? Maybe just some random chemical or toxin issue?

1799750879_IMG_20191015_201630(1).thumb.jpg.37e4bca018cc28699128f7ea1009d613.jpg

1373044627_MVIMG_20191015_201537(1).thumb.jpg.da5d6183af69bacd385ceccd689fe7cd.jpg

 

While we're looking at it, does anyone know what makes the corallites get all long and pointy like that, as opposed to fatter/rounder? Are they stretching for more light perhaps? Maybe protecting polyps from direct flow?

 

Anyway, back to the mystery issues. Other things have been going on over the past couple weeks too:

 

1. Black sun coral started to lose flesh about a month ago and continued. Looked like it might have had algae growing on its skeleton. I fragged the healthy pieces off and we'll see if they can recover! Still got tentacles opening up to feed so 🤞

2. Pink sun coral decided to completely stop feeding for several days. It acted like it has before when it's gone without food for a week or two, where it just wouldn't put it's tentacles out at any point, until slowly, after continuing to try to feed it every day and failing, it opened up more and more until it's now acting normal again

3. Increase in pest algae growth of all kinds

4. My red macro algae suddenly started to break apart. There's lots still growing well, but it seems like started dying at branching points so that lots of pieces have started separating and floating all over. It tends to have cyano or diatoms or dinos or some fine fuzzy algae growing over it that I try to blow off all the time. That's not it going sexual right?

5. Yellow fiji leather has been moody and not as fluffy

5. I've been trying to slowly bring the ALK back up to 8-8.5. I think it's been super slow and steady but maybe I messed up?

6. The yasha hides allllll the time... I thought maybe she died under the rock and caused an ammonia or nitrate spike, but while cleaning out the macro algae I just noticed that she has a new tunnel door at the back of the rock that she pokes out of and I just never get to see. Maybe the pistol died though? Who knows. I know they are a shy fish so maybe it's all normal.

7. Two weeks ago I added some extra macros and clean up crew members from ReefCleaners. Macros for fun/free shipping, hermits and emerald crab to try to take care of some of the excess algae. The only macro that I ended up keeping was a mermaid fan, which sprouted a baby almost immediately and has grown so fast! The emerald crab was HUGE but ended up dying around the time of the brown out. It had been sluggish and in hiding after only a few days in the tank though. Pretty sure I got it out as soon as it died.

RIP big guy!

8. Last and probably least, MORE aiptasia 😰

 

It seems the general consensus is that brown acros tend to mean sudden lighting changes or too high nutrients. The lighting hasn't changed at all though, and nitrate continues to test at .25 and Phosphate at 0. OBVIOUSLY this isn't right because of all the algae growth, right? So what's actually going on? People say that algae takes up all the nutrients and can make the reading super low, but doesn't that mean that the algae is consuming it so it won't affect corals? Isn't that the whole purpose of an algae scrubber? It keeps the tank cleaner? If there were more nutrients than the algae could consume and it was enough to affect the corals, wouldn't that then show up on my tests?

 

Maybe there are slightly more nutrients in the water encouraging the pest algae growth but still not enough to change my tests and the acro issues were due to something else random happening?

 

I started this post yesterday and actually things feel a little more stable now, besides the brown-ness, so on to the good news!

 

I added a new fish! I added it the day before the color loss so who knows, maybe it contributed somehow. I saw a few Randall's Assessor Basslets in the LiveAquaria Diver's Den, which I've always wanted but never seen for sale ANYWHERE, and scooped one up! As people warned, he's pretty shy and somewhat drab looking on first glance, but is definitely warming up to the tank and I peeeersonally think has some pretty cool colors going on- dark blue and purple with burnt orange/yellow flecks and little stripes and things that are of course nearly impossible to capture in a photo. When a light shines directly on him he's LITERALLY MY FAVORITE COLOR so I'm super happy with him. Here's what I've got to show so far:

Lily seems to love having a new friend to swim around the tank with! I love how sweet and curious she is with all her tank mates. 

 

I also got a couple rock flower anemones for the spot I was talking about! They are beautiful and perfect and seem pretty happy!

 

IMG_20191010_154738.thumb.jpg.603b2c82bdb5356e8b08ec238105c057.jpgIMG_20191010_154743.thumb.jpg.91d5f44da295e377f23c56ad5e0c5fce.jpg

 

All the new aiptasia is directly above the one on the left, so I've been hesitant about treating them, fearing that some of the aiptasia x might fall on the RFA and kill it too. Might just try another peppermint shrimp.

 

I'm sure all kinds of other things have been going on in here, but that's all I can recall for now. I wish I had more fancy pics to show off since it's been so long since I've updated, but I just haven't had much free time.

 

I did take some fun nighttime shots a couple weeks ago:

Oh and my oldest hermit recently molted and couldn't fit his fat butt into his old favorite shell 😝. It was hilarious. I started to get really worried though because he tried for like 2 days even after I added lots of other shells to choose from! Fiiiinally he decided he'd get over it and try a new one.

Really feel like there's some good jokes/metaphors in there about me and my fat ass not fitting into my old favorite pair of jeans that I SWORE fit fine last week but I'm feeling too lazy to think of anything especially clever right now. Or MAYBE MY NEW FAT ASS IS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN MY OLD SKINNIER ONE, just like hermie, so there's the metaphor I was looking for.

Except hermit crab butts are actually soooo terrifying, happy spooktober everyone!

So after paying more attention to the back of the rock where the yasha is, I've seen her poking her head out a good bit, but the poor thing is skiiiinny! Food doesn't really float back there very often because it's blocked by macro algae on both sides and I never knew to squirt any back there until a couple days ago. Then this morning I go take a peek at the tank, and the yasha is out hanging around front and center! I don't look at the tank very often in the mornings so it's slightly possible this is normal for her, but I've literally never seen it. I love getting to see her like this, but because it's such odd behavior, I'm a little worried. Maybe she finally got hungry enough to come searching for food? Or maybe this is another sign that her shrimp partner died? I don't remember the last time I heard one of his clicks. Just hoping she's not sick and that's why she's being weird. She seemed to have good energy and swam normally at least, though I did notice it looks like some of her dorsal fin broke off. I went ahead and fed the tank mysis in the hopes she would get a lot of food while she was out and she ate a couple pieces, but didn't really ravenously go for everything like I was hoping she would. The next time I get out to a LFS (maybe the same time that I get a chance to drive out of town to pick up my OG bounce prize!) I'll probably get a new randall's pistol shrimp, emerald crab, and peppermint shrimp.

 

Too dark and blue for any great pics, and I didn't want to stress her by turning up the light, but I snapped a couple on my cell phone since I rarely get a chance to see her like this!

Looks beautiful! I have had the yellow assessor before and it was such a fantastic colorful fish.

 

I turn off the pumps when I feed and my yasha comes out and eats pretty well this way. I just squirt some to the area that she generally hangs out in.

Alright I guess this is just a normal thing in the mornings now!

You can see how skinny she is in this photo but hopefully she'll fatten up soon with more accessible feedings.

 

With all my shy fish I never thought I'd be someone that can get all their fish in one shot, but here we are!

The assessor seems to have really brought out everyone's friendly and outgoing side!

Finally picked up my WWC OG Bounce prize from a local photo contest a couple months ago!

 

DSC06742-2.thumb.jpg.8908e5a7f5dbf1103573c16f0605ce42.jpg

 

You can also see my ridiculous Neptune bounce baby that I realized is now almost a year old. THAT AIN'T NO BABY! You might even see to the left of it, the neptune has produced it's own baby!!! What in the world in going on with this thing? Is it just a dwarf? I feed it almost as often as my sun corals!

 

Still not really sure what happened with the acros or even if they are stabilizing or getting worse. The underside of the Oregon tort has gone pretty white, though the undersides never looked great since they don't get any light. It kinda seems like all the ones that turned brown are now starting to lighten, I think the spathulata is lighter too, but they still have color in some areas, and some polyp extension. When do I know it's time to do emergency surgery to try to save the good parts? I'm guessing when flesh starts receding? Even taking a really close look I can't tell if the flesh is receding or if it's just gone pale. It doesn't look like it's peeling off like I see in a lot of pics, more just fading away.

 

These three acros in the middle seemed like the most affected:

Here's the slimer. I see a tiny bit of algae on the branch close to the birdsnest, but still can't tell if I see skeleton or not.

I did surgery on the black sun coral and it seems to be doing well, though it's hard to feed because the little bits of tentacle left usually don't come out until late at night. Fiji leather also seems to be happier, and all other corals are doing well. The red macro algae is still coming apart some. I wonder if I should just take it out in case it's causing problems for the acros? I guess I certainly don't need their nutrient reducing power as my nitrate and phosphate continue to be almost non-existent.

 

I also wonder if I should take out the chemi-pure to up nutrients. Maybe just do a little carbon? This scares me as I've had it in my tanks since the beginning and I worry it would cause a lot of abrupt changes. I also have a good bit of nuisance algae growth as is, so I don't really want an explosion in that either. 🤷‍♀️

 

Overall I'm not distraught or anything, cause my current FTSs still make me so happy:

Didn't spend a ton of time with the good camera as I was mostly just trying to document the acro issues, but here's a few random shots I liked:

I did surgery on the black sun coral and it seems to be doing well, though it's hard to feed because the little bits of tentacle left usually don't come out until late at night. Fiji leather also seems to be happier, and all other corals are doing well. The red macro algae is still coming apart some. I wonder if I should just take it out in case it's causing problems for the acros? I guess I certainly don't need their nutrient reducing power as my nitrate and phosphate continue to be almost non-existent.

 

I also wonder if I should take out the chemi-pure to up nutrients. Maybe just do a little carbon? This scares me as I've had it in my tanks since the beginning and I worry it would cause a lot of abrupt changes. I also have a good bit of nuisance algae growth as is, so I don't really want an explosion in that either. 🤷‍♀️

 

Overall I'm not distraught or anything, cause my current FTSs still make me so happy:

Didn't spend a ton of time with the good camera as I was mostly just trying to document the acro issues, but here's a few random shots I liked:

Looks great. 😊 

 I love that first pic.

Seeing your possum wrasse cruisin' along, I want to have a pair sóóó bad! 😄 Do you have a (small) movieclip of the wrasse?

No but I've been meaning to take a video of the tank, I'll try to get on it! It took her a long time to get comfortable in the tank but I loooove my sweet possum wrasse, highly recommend!

The tank looks really awesome @lizzyann, as usual! 😊 I really love that Grube's gorgonian! It's so huge and bushy. I feel like it has really grown a whole lot in the last few months. I wish I could get one for my biotope, but unfortunately that is an Indo-Pacific species so it's off limits for me. 😅

Awesome update! Side note, Neptunes don’t get big at all, don’t expect it to get as big as a WWC bounce or Sunkist for example, so yours looks about the right size

That's good to know. Somewhat disappointing I suppose, but good to know. I should have mentioned in the post though that the WWC bounce is still a baby, 1/2-3/4 inches wide (the mother was 3x that size at least), and the neptune is even smaller than that, at like 1/4-1/2 inch wide. Is that still really as big as they get sometimes?

I definitely admire your commitment! 

 

I just looked back through my FTSs on my first page, and a couple other pics I had on my phone, and I definitely agree, it's grown really fast in the last 2-3 months. It really seems like a lot of corals have. The oregon tort is one that really stands out as growing a lot in that time, which makes it even more frustrating that these acros suddenly crashed. Also makes me question how much I should try to "fix" my system to correct for whatever that was. I've been looking at different salts that won't cause as much of an alk fluctuation during water change and taking out portions of the chemipure to up my nutrients a little buuuuut I'm not so sure. Though growth has been fine I will say the acans and bowerbanki don't have as good color lately. 🤷‍♀️ I'm so conservative in my willingness to make changes. And by that I mean a terrible decision maker and incredibly talented procrastinator. 😁

 

With that said, I'm about the frag the tort and slimer now to try to save them 😭 Wish them luck and good health yall!

Good luck with the fragging! It's unfortunate that your acros would suddenly start to take a nose dive like that. I agree with you that changing too many things all at once might end up creating more problems than it solves, though. Perhaps it's best to frag them and then start to tinker with the variables (switching salts, removing some Chemipure, etc.) one at a time. 🤔

 

Also, I have to say that your Pavona really stands out to me in the FTS above. Pavona can demonstrate a variety of different growth patterns, but yours has a beautiful ruffled shape. It's really gorgeous.

just got myself a huge one of these: https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/1519/yellow-finger-gorgonian-expert-only?pcatid=1519&c=597+601+1519 I tried it once and failed, but thought you might also be interested since it's from the Caribbean.

will be following your frag recovery progress.  I had a beautiful cali tort, that I ended up having to frag a while ago.  Almost the same situation, the flesh slowly faded/receded from underneath until one day it was clearly bones.

Diodogorgia! It is a beautiful genus of gorgonian. There is also a red variety of the same species that comes from deeper water. I wish I could have one, but I feel like there's no good place in my tank to put it. I've already got too many other gorgs! 😂

 

Hmm... might look pretty good here in @lizzyann's tank though! Have you considered getting any more gorgonians since your Grube's is doing so well?

how's it going?

Ok... I think? Everything seems great except for those two acros. The slimer seems to have stabilized somewhat after cutting off the dead part, and I fragged up the tort. The frags aren't doing great (some are STNing from the bottom), but a couple might make it.  The other acros seem to be fine, and definitely improving with more polyp extension and slooooow coloring up.

 

Haven't been able to update much or follow up on the other threads I started because I'm about to head out on a two week vacation 😬 and have been busy prepping for that and working extra and such.

 

One quite exciting update is that I got an Apex (the new 2016 one). There was a used one for sale locally and I'd always thought about getting one if I could get a good deal on it. It doesn't seem huuugely beneficial for a small tank, but I'm sure there's more I can do with it than I am now and I just really appreciate the peace of mind when I'm gone. 

 

My brother is going to house sit for us and take care of the tank as well as all our other pets. I'm not going to have him do any water changes or anything over the two weeks, just feeding the fish and NPS corals, so hopefully things should go smoothly. 🤞
