  1. Glad to see things are turning around for you
  2. Yeah, I considered myself extremely lucky on that one. Crazy thing is I used some mesh to cover the power heads but it must have found the small space on the pump that the mesh didn’t cover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Needless to say, it’s staying in the basket [emoji1787][emoji30] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Here’s the CSB Recovery This was before I decided to release it out of the basket Then here it is a couple days after the mauling About a week or 2 after And here is a pic from this morning It’s now actively taking food and should be back to its glory in no time. I was really hoping to find the other half [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. As I have been horrible about updating this thread, I figured it may be time to do so..... Unfortunately my tank has had some issue over the past few months that has resulted in some unforeseen STN and RTN. My nitrates, that were at 20-25ppm all of a sudden (could have happened over a period of 2 weeks or so) disappeared. Then I really didn't do anything to counter act it and let it ride. Coral health was definitely suffering and noticed what I thought was cyano but let it be. About 30 days later what I thought was cyano at the time really started to take hold and the take looked like crap but I just didn't care. I decided to do a chemiclean treatment and it really didn't put a dent in the pest. It was about this time that I realized I had the dreaded dino's and I have been fighting them ever since. That all being said, I probably lost 5-6 pieces (mostly frags). I am still battling some STN that I think is a result of either the dinos irritating the coral, some of the toxins released from the dinos. I just added my UV sterilizer to the tank 2 days ago, and I believe I am seeing a reduction already in the dinos. Hopefully the tank is turning a corner towards better health now. Also to add insult to injury, about a month ago my CSB decided to walk into a powerhead when I was on vacation....YAY... I literally found a mangled mess under the rock in the nano/frag/softie tank. Good new there is it has made a 100% recovery and is now growing again. I seriously almost threw up on that one...

  7. Since most of the tissue loss is at the tips I am with Jolt on this one. I would also recommend an icp rest like others have recommended to rule anything else out. Since the nitrates bottomed out quickly, the combination of your alk being 8.5 and your lighting could have all of a sudden shocked the SPS. Nutrients buffer both alk and light intensity, you suddenly took them away, then the issues started to happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Found a way to add more coral [emoji1787][emoji2369][emoji1690] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. Nice, good to know. I didnt realize that they did. Thanks!
  14. Does anyone have a glass drilling kit that they would let me borrow?
  15. I hear ya. I would trade you in a heartbeat if I had xr30s. I love the orpheks. If you do end up trading though, I would suggest getting diffusers as well for the radions as they really help spread and blend the light.
