WilRams September 8, 2016 September 8, 2016 I was going to speculate temp as well. The only time I have had trouble with euphyllias has been temperature related. One time my tank got to 84 degrees (accidentally left a titanium heater on in apex fusion) it took overnight to get the tank down to my regular temp. Everything made it just fine minus a torch I had. It died within a day. Last week I was doing a water change and I let the water get too warm (I'll learn to stop using this heater) it was late night so I went with it. Tank got to 81 degrees. For the next 2 days my hammer and torch were very retracted and looked rough. Luckily after 2 days they are looking great.

DeepBlue45 September 9, 2016 September 9, 2016 I am thinking that the temp is not the problem, as some of the colonies have been at that them for over 2 yrs. Certainly they could be starving. Will look into feeding them. Any suggestions besides KZ Amino Acid LPS? Many thanks So I don't want to sound like a KZ sales person which I'm not but I've experimented with dosing other stuff in their extensive (and confusing) product line and narrowed in on just the ones where I can see real results. I use the Pohl's Extra pretty regularly and especially when I'm acclimating frags where I've seen pretty rapid recovery of large LPS like scoly's and Acan bowerbanki that had visible polyp damage from transport. I dose Coral Vitalizer every other day as a supplemental microscopic food to the target feeding of mysis I do. Again, just a couple suggestions for further research before you test/evaluate anything else in your system. When I first started these I was checking parameters daily and recording visible reactions by livestock, effect on my skimmer etc. so I had a good picture what was going on. BRS has sample pack....called nano package or something if you want to give KZ a try without breaking the bank. J
