Possibly, it's just a little bit of skeleton showing on the top, gonna get things back in check and then give it a few days. Might just have to cut off the tip

Hoping all your corals survive.. It would be a shame to lose your last tank to something like this.

Well found the pom pom this morning, he was still alive but acting kinda weird so who knows. Going to a buddies to use his calibration fluid to check my refracto. Also picked up some floss, think I got to much?

Little more than 3 lbs for $9. Love this stuff my last bag lasted over 6 months, and that was on 5 tanks

 

[Macscale]

I've never tried using it on a tank...
There's never too much, it will just last longer!

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Yep it's nice because I just throw it out each week during the weekly wc. Quick and easy, gotta love it.

How are the corals?

Birds is still STNing, red acans aren't looking to hot, and the pom pom died yesterday . But everything else seems to be angry but healthy so it could be worse

That sucks about the pompom. I haven't seen mine In a while. I hope my pistol didn't get him.

Pistols paired with a goby tend to be a lot better behaved IME so I doubt it got the pom pom, hopefully it's just molting.

 

[10gal_nano]

Yeah. I'm hoping he's hiding

I do the same with pantyhose as socks. It works great for 39 cents for 2.

Also, don't get bummed about the pom pom. I had one in my 55 reef that I thought was dead, until I saw him taking a walk across the front of the tank months later. When they show up, it is a real treat.

I haven't because the it's only the one spot, the back still has healthy tissue. I'm going to try moving it to the sand bed for a while first

So which one of these pictures don't look as good as bribos?

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

All 3?

 

[nanoreefz]

Awww look at the cute goby! Doesn't look to bad BigRed you have any clue why my zoas look like this? Just finished moving some rock around and don't know if it's because they are stressed or not?

Are they always like that? Just look annoyed honestly, probably stirred up some stuff moving rocks. What are your params?

 

[nanoreefz]

Just checked today actually. pH was 8.1, no ammonia or nitrites, nitrates are staying high at like 40...it's the dumb bioballs I think. And mag, cal, and alk are all in normal range as well

Yeah nitrates are pretty high, get some water and do a couple 50% changes ( day or 2 apart) and that should get you down to around 10ppm. I like to be lower than that still but 10 should be fine, a 3rd 50% change would get you to the 5ppm range which is where I prefer to be
