    SPS Poylp Disease

    Hahaha if I see vendors start selling acros like this in a few years I’m going to be really disappointed I didn’t start it.

    SPS Poylp Disease

    Gonna try higher dosage dips. I’ll try to locate some KCl and do a dip or one of the infected to see if one succeeds. Thanks!

    SPS Poylp Disease

    Cipro in-tank doses at .125mg/l - .2mg/l were ineffective at stopping the polyp disease, 1 week post treatment in tank. Going to attempt stronger dips at 1-5 g/l outside of the tank. Polyp disease has broken routine and persisted past the usual timeframe. Some corals have worsened. Picture...

    Tank sprung a leak

    I’ve had two Red Sea tanks that never leaked. With that said, I will never own another Red Sea tank ever again. Just my .02, but I think you’re better looking at other big names. They don’t seem to have the same frequency of seam bursts. Sorry to hear about the tank. Let me know if there is...

    Dealing with sudden algae

    I ordered 2 blue tuxedo urchins. I have a long spine in my 40b which is connected to the same system, and that tank has no algae, but I’ve never seen turf in there to begin with. Lot less light on that tank. The king spine can’t fit in the Frag tank so hopefully the tuxedos arrive soon and...

    Dealing with sudden algae

    I’m having a massive turf algae outbreak after two years as well. I just order some urchins. I hope they help. I didn’t know flucon worked on turf, may try that. Good luck, hopefully this thread gets updates with some results in time.

    Failing seal on Red Sea Aquarium

    I think Redsea is garbage. One of the factors the 900 3xl is better off in my garage than my home. Owned multiple of their tanks, never will again. My .02 Sorry to hear about your experience :(.

    how long do Berghia live once they run out of aiptasia?

    I see populations dwindle about 2-3 weeks after the last aptasia. Hard to be sure because I have no way to tell when the last egg hatched.

    Reef moonshiner program

    I run it loosely. I don’t do water changes but I don’t think reef moonshiners allows me to do that. I didn’t do them before moonshiners. It’s quite a bit of micromanagement daily and the frequent ICP isn’t cheap. I don’t see much in the way of material gains from just doing weekly trace...

    SPS Poylp Disease

    That system hasn’t had carbon dosing in about 2-3 months. That frag has been like that for a couple months now. When I do dose it I’m using Tropic Marin bacto balance.

    Welcome to Gran Playa Del Mar

    Tank is doing ok. Been working nutrient lower. First coral have been added this week. We will see how these do. Not sure when I want to try a tenuis in there yet.

    The Sodel Frag Tank

    No material update. 2 week vacation in September and everything was doing well when we got back. Bought some QTd fish for the frag tank in hopes I could stop dosing nitrate every day. Expected in two weeks. Turned skimmer off permanently in Sept.

    SPS Poylp Disease

    This disease(assumption) never seems to fully go away in my tank. It appears to be exacerbated by carbon dosing. Usually lasts about 3-4 months. Coral pales out and polyps begin to bubble out like a bounce mushroom. Typically 1-2 sps affected at anytime and as it fades, a new coral gets it...

    Orange fungus/mucus/spot/sponge/something on Elegance

    Interesting. Same thing is happening to mine right now. Patch has been there 1+ years but is growing.

    Torch flesh peeling back from the bottom?

    I have a number of sps that have encrusted the tube of vermetid snails. Those mucus nets have never caused a problem for a species that sensitive. I’ve stopped worrying about them a long time ago. Just my 2 cents. Just for clarity, I’m dealing with the small 1cm purple variety. I have never...

    Mounting suggestions

    Solid idea, what should I search for on the Home Depot apps just aluminum bars? Any special grade or coating needed to stop it from getting in the water?
