That's a lot of fish poops for 4 hours. Looks like it's spraying some solids also wow
-
Here is mine but it's in sump reef octopus 5000 if anyone wants to know more I can post up. I like it but it's only my 2nd skimmer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wish there way we could make it safer for the fish. I would pay double for a slim mortality rate.

Could be related to stress of some sorts. Check for stray voltage with multimeter. Pull your carbon. Could also be start of HLLE

Someone please correct me if what I have seen is inaccurate. if Vendor X renames an SPS and another vendor Y propagates the same coral and sells it under the same name, can't vendor Y get in trouble?

Here they move from Boulder to Boulder (further than a 6 foot tank). I sometimes even question if tangs these size belong in the hobby period Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After watching a YouTube video of a diver swimming after a feeding powder blue for a mile, I decided to join the tang police lol I'll see if I can find that video Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought them as fire and ice. But you know how the coral names can be different for the same thing
-
The key is to have a tank big enough to where they won't stress out. When they stress their immune system takes a dump and they get sick.

I zoomed in on the dark spots and they are the shape of the flat worms I see on the Internet. I think since they are so visible I would love to see a documented dip to see what percent of them are killed
-
Are the black spots bite marks?
-
I don't know if this is a good method but I'm 3 for 3 with getting nems to stay in one spot. Pick a medium to low flow area with medium light. I poked them down in a crevice and once in a hole and they stayed put. Does it have a healthy foot? Sometimes people don't let them heal long enough before selling. Chucks nut container will work well too.

Reduce livestock, buy bigger skimmer, add Chaeto growing refugium, increase water volume without adding livestock, bio pellet reactor

Feeding regiment for mouthless SPSs?
gmerek2 replied to Reefer_Madness's topic in General Discussion
+1 sps flourish with out feeding. Your fish crop dust them all day long. -
Im surprised they gave up their secret mysis farming information. That would be like finding out bushes beans secret recipe and risking the business
-
Do you or someone you know happen to have loisettaea. I have been looking for this for a while
-
Glad you found it. What a freaking nightmare! Did it eat all your coral for lunch?
-
Think of LEDs as little spotlights, they can shadow badly if not set up properly. The radions are especially bad with being spotlights because there isnt much spread. If you have spotlights coming from a whole bunch of different directions then shadowing is minimal. I think the only way to overcome it is to have multiple fixtures on front sides and back of the tank
-
Looks like the colony got so big that it light starved the bottom?
-
Set a pipe in the sump that is higher than the ATO container and larger in diameter than the tubing pumping the water. Silicone and secure the tube to the top of the pipe. This will fix the siphon or gravity issue

Hacksaw, bone cutters and a scalpel. Don't forget goggles
-
RTN to no TN hopefully. The polyps shot out today and tips look bluer. The other SPS that got cold are doing fine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The heads do get bigger and bigger but eventually do split. Are you sure it's not a wall hammer? I saw a forced split of branching frogspawn with a razor blade on YouTube. I haven't cared enough to try it yet Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They don't like a lot of flow but if it's getting bigger it's doing great and don't move it. I didn't think mine were growing much until I looked at old pics of the tank. I put my LPS towards the back of the tank where there isn't as much flow and keep my SPS up front where PH are

Skimmer does do an excellent job at it so most of us don't need an air pump in DT. I have heard of people dropping in an air stone with fresh outdoor air to help raise Ph
