Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I'm glad you pointed that out. I have a clown goby in a nano that we are doing for a friend, that would explain the lack of polyp extension. I pulled the sps frag out of the nano. Thanks!
If anyone sees something they like on our website let us know. We will be attending the meeting on March 24th and can pack everything up and bring it along on the roadtrip!
Just make sure you set up an accout and email us so that we can add you to the discount (NJRC2018) list prior to checking...
No SPS likes rapid alk swings, or rapid changes in anything.
Gradual swings will slow growth, brown them out, and maybe some will die like a random colony/frag, but generally gradual swings don’t take them all out.
We have all been here! It’s humbling, and a fact of life sometimes when things get busy.
You may know most or all of this but I’ll drop it in anyway. Just trying to be helpful.
You’ll get it back in track. That said, your corals are adjusted so let’s do this slowly over a couple weeks. I...
I love xenia, but don't want it to overtake the tank. I am going to place a small frag of it on the back glass in the corner and let it do its thing there!
Polyps are still retracted. Sorry the birdsnest is toast. We’ll get this worked out.
When the polyps are out they are very fuzzy and white. It’ll be obvious. I didn’t see your test post I’ll look for it.
I would start less dangerous and escalate. I don’t think you have an emergency right now. Is it’s just not “pretty”.
Edit: freshwater dips will kill corals very quick. Soft/zoas different story, but LPS/SPS etc really shouldnt get a freshwater dip unless it’s your last option to save the coral.
First things that come to mind are nutrient swings, RODI water quality, and flow changes from dirty power heads.
If your levels have been where they are (Mg/Ca/Alk) and you’re just moving them up now that’s not the issue.
After this....new additions that could’ve harbored something...
