Hey there, went away for 10 days and had my friend watching my tank. She fed and cleaned regularly.
when we returned we had lost an entire kenya tree (looks like it melted). Our long tentacle plate was a naked skelleton. We had 6 pulsing xinia and 2 were missing, 3 are looking puny and one is fine.
After some investigation I found my gold headed goby just a skelleton in the tank.
our parameters on return are: Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10, phos 0, ph 8.2, temp 78
Any ideas? All I can think is the fish died for some reason and sent my ammonia skyrocketing and it was down before we returned.
Will the sickly lookin xinia recover??
Oh yeah, my tube worm lost his crown too. Worm still alive and peeks out occasionally but no crown.
Vacation was great but tank was almost a disaster.
