Travis Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Sigh...I don't think the Sinularia is going to make it Link to comment
Kogut Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hate it when new corals just don't take for whatever reason. Link to comment
Travis Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 You know, that is THE FIRST coral I have had that died on me, EVER. I have better luck with SPS than I do with Leathers!!! Link to comment
Travis Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Ok, major mistake happend last night. So I decided that I needed some more flow, and found a small powerhead that I have been haveing for over a year now. So I put it in the tank, perfect fit. I woke up the next morning, noticed that the snails knocked the Toadstoll off the rock, so I take the hood off and place my hands in the water. Well...um...IT'S HOT! It felt like water in a bathtub warm. Needless to say, I took the pump out. So here's what was affected: Suncoral completely bleach / died Acan, looking crapy Blastomussa, looking crapy Toadstool, all closed up, but that may be just because of being face down in the sand for a few hours. The Zoas and Yuma Ric couldn't look better lol. I also am going to need an Emerald crab because the hair algae is getting out of controll....I don't even have a big bioload... I hope that Current USA "Fission" skimmer get's here soon. Hopefully it will help with all the algae blooms. Link to comment
Travis Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 I should be getting in some Light Blue Rics in a few days Link to comment
icenine Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Sorry to hear that Trav... how hot did it get? I hope things pull though. Link to comment
Sebea Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I hope everything is okay now Travis... BTW, I sent the money for the dark blue rics, they should be here wednsday. They are going into Pili's tank until I have my pico set up. I wasn't expecting to wait this long for the skimmer... Link to comment
Travis Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Ice - I'm not shure how hot it got, I don't have a thermomiter, I think I need to go pick one up. Aaron - I think that everything else should be fine, thanks for your concern. Link to comment
Ann Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Nooo! I hope that everything makes it through OK. Best regards Ann Link to comment

Ann Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Sorry to hear about the Blastomussa, it was a beautiful coral. Hopefully you can find something else equally as nice to replace it with. At least everything else made it through the temp spike OK. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Travis Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Update 12-1-05 BIG MISTAKE FTS Corals that are still alive...sort of... These Eagle Eyes seem to be able to take a beatin'! They never close up, unless during a water change, and always look good. Can any one tell me what the white bony dots on the Acan mean? Link to comment
