    Hole in my toadstool?

    Thank you for the reply! There is a power head but it is in the corner and there’s sort of a reflection blocking it in the picture. Either way, I’m pretty sure it’s not enough which is why I have the additional one to add. Glad to hear that this is a good move. In the back I switched out the...

    Hole in my toadstool?

    Good to know! Right now my flow situation is kind of lame. I have the built in outflow pump on the tank and then an extra pump on the side. But I just got a Nero 3 and will be adding it soon which would hopefully help of this is the issue. That should create flow that is a bit more dynamic as well!

    Hole in my toadstool?

    Here’s the full tank! Toadstool is standing back up now so it’s hard to see the hole. It might be a good idea for me to retest the nitrate, that value was from a quick test strip. But that is a good point. I feed a mixture of brine shrimp (normal and spirulina infused) and a variety pack with...

    Hole in my toadstool?

    I am not sure what is going on. My toadstool has been spending more time flopped over lately and I noticed this morning that there is a hole in the flesh. I’ve had it for about 9 months and never had any problem like this. Parameters: Phosphate: 0.09 (working on lowering this) Alkalinity: 8.5...

    The TDS is 0.562 mg/L. That is low enough right?

    Milli-Q water for water changes?

    Okay gotcha. Yeah I have a way to measure the TDS so I can check that next time I go in. If the filtration is working as it should be, the TDS should be 0. Yeah milli-q water is filtered through multiple mediums that should remove ions, organics, and large particles. So it includes the reverse...

    Milli-Q water for water changes?

    Has anyone every used milli-Q water for their tank? I am in college and work at a lab where there are taps with purified water (RO and milli-q) that I could use. It would be much easier than what I am doing now to use this water. Is it safe as long as the conductivity value is low? Any...

    Brown jelly disease?

    PO4 I tested two days ago and it was 0.05. I don’t have my nitrite/nitrate test at the moment bc I loaned it to a friend who is cycling a tank. No peppermint shrimp but I do have a cleaner shrimp. Also added a couple more emerald crabs to try and get the algae under control. Removed a big chunk...

    Brown jelly disease?

    Moved it up and the tentacles already look bit more open. Thanks for the tip!

    Brown jelly disease?

    Thanks for the tip! I moved it up a bit higher and I’ll keep an eye on it!

    Brown jelly disease?

    No, the others have been there for longer. Are you suggesting that it might not have enough light? I know that the light on my tank is kind of weak compared to others and this coral is near the bottom, so that would make sense.

    Brown jelly disease?

    I have not. Do you think it needs more flow?

    Here’s a picture of what it looked like when I first got it.

    Thank you for the reply! It has been in the tank for a little over a month.
