I thought it maybe the light as bulbs do need a change, also i want to frag it do i simply take a scalpel to the bottom of a branch and sew onto a rock or any better methods?

Woke up this morning and we seem to be stretching...why?

I believe the only reason they shouldn't be under direct light is so algae doesn't grow on them both my orange and black are under direct light and with good water quality I have no problems.

Also full/actual parameters of your tank would help but i believe its a feeding issue...

P.s feed your shrimp first or put a cap (top part of a coke bottle) over the sun coral so no one takes the food away.

Sun corals need feeding every day like a dog, you can get away with only a few times a week and need meaty foods like mysis, if the sun coral still opens and takes food then i would say alot of tlc (feeding every polyp every day) is needed as they don't feed off light at all, if the coral...

Clown will be fine if it's not already a female, water changes replenish trace elements so good call.

A real strange one here i know, however my branching frogspawn bailed a polyp out i know why so thats not the problem but it made its way on to my brain (lobophyllia) and the brain seems to have consumed it, I have taken as much of the frogspawn out of my brain but still definitely not all, will...

I'm guessing by the lack of responses to the thread that it was coincidence in my case oh well never mind I'm happy :) it was worth a shot.

If both are twitching i would say they are still competing to be the female. Have you seen them lay eggs before?

I have heard of clown fish doing this dive technique at very very baby early stages of their lives when they are going to die just one of those things unfortunately, my guess would be the frogspawn sting was too much and your clown hadn't built the immunity slime coat to the toxins. Sorry :(

+1 Giving all the facts would actually be ranting on (melosu58 defence), you have a solution here. I have a tang that had it I'm guessing from bumping into a rock and as my water is pristine it cleared up within a week.

Hi guys i have had a bubble tip anemone for some time now and it never has had bubbles, I have in the past tried everything to get it to bubble from flow, light intensity, different spectrums too and feeding but always stayed the same, it has stayed in current conditions for a couple of months...

Also biscuit stars only eat sponges and bryozoans so hard to keep and in a nano even harder sorry to say but I would stay away :(

Change LFS! 40 is ridiculously high

I wouldn't recommend a goby in such a young tank as they can be finicky eaters but after a year they'll keep your sand clean

It's your alk being too low

Also if calcium has been added and not magnesium as they have both been depleted over time why would his mag be 1300+ for sure?

If you don't think the alk is of any concern at 1.7meq and won't cause problems with every coral then I may as well unsubscribe to this thread now buddy

Anything from 2.5-4 meq/L (7-11 dKh) is acceptable so your way off that's probably your problem, IMO minimum 8dkh highest 12dkh. Also magnesium makes calcium available so your calcium actually may be higher than you think if your mag is too low. first step is to check mag and if needed raise mag...

Just that it maybe diatoms feeding on the silicates from the unwashed sand

If your dosing you need to test for it as well, however I think it's a waste of time as this trace element is replenished in water changes

No problemo I'm here all week :) haha

Yeah sounds like excrement don't worry they must be in a place they catch a lot of food

These maybe out of sync especially running a ph of 7.8 which makes me think so
