Salt Dreams

so move it back to the shade or lower in the tank I am so not a SPS girl clearly...would it take a couple weeks to change it like this cause it appears that the coral got worse all in one week but the change in placement happened 3 weeks ago.

I also have a blue and white actinic and moon lights

I have 2 400W MH and they are a little higher than halfway up to the top...look at the pic its a 135 gallon tanks 2 ft deep or so. no new corals only 2 new fish, the blue spot blenny and the teeny tiny little blue hippo bout the size of a nickel.

Ok let me be more clear the plate coral has been in my tank for about 2 months my orange digi has been in for months since the frag swap at Mc Callahans back in the summer some time. I technically moved both corals down lower in the tank but to a better lite position in the tank they were at the top of the tank with a over cast which did not allow full light. I moved them down lower but in full light and they have been that way for about 3 weeks or so maybe longer. All of my problems started about 4 to 5 days ago. The plate coral started to look like the picture but it was not as white and not as bad it has started to spread but...my digi was still doing great. then 2 days ago the polyps on my digi stopped extending but i can still see the polyps they are just retracted. It is not the same as when they are dying they are just unhappy and retracted even the places that are white still have polyps as of today ...i have been feeding my tank daily to help my tangs ich for the past week that is the only change that i have made just before the corals started doing this. I been feeding them frozen soaked in garlic and garlic enriched flakes. Flakes daily and frozen about 3 times a week. I usually feed frozen twice a week and pellets daily. Hope this doesnt make anyone more confused.

they were doing awesome on Monday of this week and now its already too late does it really happen that fast?

i just read that macroalgae decreases phosphates...does anyone have some for me to throw in my sump?

Dip them in what and where the heck would i all of a sudden get a nudibranch...

I have a phos filter that could stand replacing...and i will do another water change tomorrow...the corals have been in the tank for a while at least a couple months or so. They are the only SPS i have and they were doing well until earlier this week. It started with the plate coral. I added a small blue hippo tang and a blue spot blenny recently no corals. I am not running carbon and I do have more LPS as that is what i prefer. i recently started using garlic enhanced flake food to entice my powder blue tang to eat cause i suspect he has ich. Now i have seen people with a lots of SPS and LPS and it seems to work so I will also try a new phosphate filter i seen one that was better. Thanks

I have two corals that recently took a turn for the worse. I done a water change less than 2 weeks ago, other than that the only other change was the corals placement in the tank...I moved both corals into more light after an experience reefer seen my tank and told me that the coloration was not as bright as it would be if they were getting more light.

My tank parameters as of today

PH ~8.1

Nitrates 0

Phospates 1

Calcium 560

KH 10

Salinity 34

Specific Gravity 1.025

Temp 77 usually gets to about 79 on hot days

I posted pictures please help me fix it before its too late. The third picture is just to show my entire tank and the other corals in the tank that are flourishing Thanks in advance.

I feed it 2 or 3 times a week...I usually cut a piece of silverside too I don't know either.

That is funny how i am the only one that has a Sherman RBTA that has NOT split!!!! What is the secret do i need to stress him out lmbo he is just a growing but not a splittin!

Is it still new or has it been used?

I bought one from Aqua Dome a few days ago he is so tiny but he got in the tank and swam right up to my powder blue and my yellow tang...he really has a Dory personality he has not clue that they could have been dangerous he was just so personable that they didnt even harrass him...and they had quite a few in the store that had the same personality.

Are the Palmer Blue Millie and the Piink Millie easy corals to grow...I only have one SPS as of right now. I am checking my schedule for work to see if I am coming your way this week to get either one or both if they are still available. Thanks for answering my questions.

Is one of the other frags of Palmers BM cheaper or are they all the same price? I seen your tank before and I really like the coral but I cant afford the $100 frag. Thanks

How much for the blue milli and the really pink one in front second over next toThe blue?

Ok the blenny is gone well almost gone someone is on the way...and I have had an inquiry about the Naso

I am selling two of my fish to make room for other fish that I want...

Also I am selling a hairy mushroom for $10

Starry Blenny $15 OR BEST OFFER I am also willing to except trades really looking for a Blue Hippo Tang Thanks for looking!!!

So Josh i am assuming he didnt respond to you either...i wonder if he ran the ad elsewhere and left a number for people to contact because he was selling things daily but I dont think it was to any of us???

no other choice me too thanks for RESPONDING Stacys

oh and stacey the shrimp that we both asked for have been gone for about 2 days...

Ok so apparently the tangs that he was holding for me has been sold right from under my nose...i offered to send a paypal payment as soon as i asked for it but he never responded...i have been asking for a time and place to pick up the tang especially after he told me it was me that had spoken for it but today i got a PM that he sold all the tangs so my question is did anyone get a response to the things that you were trying to buy? has anyone got the things that you Pm'd about or was it just me that got screwed?????????????
