Guess that's what I'm gonna do lol :/ boooo.. this stinks, I liked this clam

Dan, sorry about the rotten luck. It seems that this is the norm for this hobby. I have lost a couple of corals and fish in my reef as well. Not to mention the 8 (yes 8) Angels I have lost in my FO tank. It truly sucks and I feel for you.

Um, a Blueface, Regal, Queen, 2 Emperors, 2 Flames, and a Coral Beauty. Wow, it hurts even more now that I've spelled them out. That's why my wife has said "No more Angels, period!".

Thanks Dan. You know what they say. A fool and his money are soon parted. I have become much more careful since then.

All of this happened in how many days? When I nuked my tank, it was from fecal matter in my water. Well water below a corn field. Pretty extreme, but evident of how something you don't think of can put you back. Any changes recently? Think about running carbon on the tank?

Over a week id say. My palm tree coral was eaten I believe by my wrasse. The clam just kept getting knocked over so I think its mantle got messed up and it just stressed out. The chromis I have no idea. It's dead lil body was stuck to my powerhead so who knows. Lol

I've been running Carbon and GFO in my reactor for the past 3-4 weeks probably

Your sure the clam was knocked over rather than trying to move himself to a better spot? It takes so e power to move a clam that size.

Well the one time he fell over was due to my yellow head jawfish making a burrow and taking the sand out from underneath it, so I moved it and it kept ending up on its side the next day. Never moved too another spot, just knocked over. I dunno I blame my wrasse. He's wreaked havoc in my tank so far lol

My reactor has been running for a week now since I fixed the clog. Just looked at it just now and has a very slow stream of water coming out. Any ideas why its doing this often?

 

[DanS180]

well i swapped out my cylinder this morning, removing the mix of GFO & Carbon and ive decided just to use GFO in the reactor. I figure, itll be changed out less frequently and hopefully wont clog up bc now its tumbling pretty good.

Ill head out today and get some filter socks or something so i can put the Carbon in there and just drop it in my sump. No need to let my 3/4 container of Carbon go to waste lol

 

[Sniperhank]

Panty hose are a great alternative to filter socks.

This is true. I'll see what my LFS has as far as socks and go from there I guess

 

[DanS180]

BAD FLASH on my phone camera makes everything look ugly lol
New Acan mini colony(9-10 heads probably) on the left. Don't know the name if anyone can help?

New zoa frag of Watermelons as well in the middle

Awesome new coral! I can't wait to get more for my tank.

Thank you! I love it!

 

[DanS180]

Got some filter socks. 2 questions. How much should I put into the sock? And is there a specific place to put it in the sump?

 

[DanS180]

Oh n I just ordered an 8oz bottle of Coral rX to dip frags in, a fragging tool kit and a drip acclimator with a pump and ball valve (airlines with knots in it have been annoying me lately lol) from BRS.
