Iodine dip or luglos, for the acans, did they turn brown and slimmy? Could be brown jelly. I saved a colony before with the iodine treatment, and hand feeding it rods. Might be worth a try. 

Thanks for the info I'll keep that in mind, no unfortunately they just melted away over a few days and they all are gone. Not sure if the tank was just too new and not enough nutrients for them. My torch was ticked too and I lost a couple of heads fortunately it has recovered some and looks a little better now. The scoly never had any issues whatsoever.

Well quick update, not too much going on in the tank right now. It is still going through the somewhat ugly phase as the diatoms have gone away but now Im dealing with a cyano outbreak.  Did a big water change the other day and sucked out a lot of red slime, it seems to be on the decline.  All of my acans melted away completely so i I;m down to my scoly, and torch which lost a few heads and my nem.  Every thing seems to be settling in now and I had to add a small fan to the sump because my temps were reaching almost 84 degrees the fan is keeping it a much more reasonable 81 while the halides are on. Just waiting on the cyano to die off then, I'll start looking at adding some more fish and then corals. 

Hi I have 2 of the brs 1.1 ml dosing pumps. I used these on my tank before the reboot and now that I’ve decided to run a carx I don’t need these any longer. Will include what I have left of some brs soda ask for alk. $50. Pm or text two54-2five8-seven17nine if interested.

thanks

As if Colorado Sunburst Anemones aren't cool enough, one of my splits turned out as a half and half... Half red... Half orange.

I hope it'll stay this way long-term!

Wow that is amazing, That bad boy is stunning, hope it stays that way for you long term as well.  Have you had other splits do that in the past and then change or is this the first time that you’ve seen this?

I've never really had success with acans. They don't appreciate the higher flow, higher lights, and lower nutrients in my tank. Any of those other conditions you think caused their demise other than your lower nutrients?

One of the colonies has completely melted away the other is ok but not happy. Really don’t know what else it could be parameters look ok. Same ro/di, salt, and lights they were under before. Really the only thing that changed was the bigger tank, cleaner water, and the super actinic bml strip. Don’t think the actinic lights would do it, but I could be wrong. There could be something I’m missing but can’t test for, we’ll see how things do over the next few days. A triton test may be in order, and will certainly get one done prior to adding any SPS. 

Great pics and beautiful corals loving the green\orange Millie that is such an awesome coral. FTS is looking great that’s a lot of tangs!! Sorry to hear about the power outage that sucks, hope everything comes through ok.

Wow beautiful tank, such a great selection of corals, so much color🤤will be following, can’t wait to see this grown out! 

Quick update. My scoly is doing pretty well, but my Acans seem to be melting away, I think the tank is too clean right now being new. The skimmer stopped foaming as well so I turned it off and will leave it off for a few days to a week to let a little junk build up. Bio load is pretty light right now 4 fish a scoly, two acan colonies and a torch ( which is also not happy). Then I added a new nem which the clowns haven’t found yet but big thanks to Jake and RCA for this beauty. 

Also did some water tests today just to see where everything is at... 

sg 1.025

alk 8.32

cal 470

mg 1425

So nothing to crazy there. Will just keep on track and things should start to settle in.

Glad you said linear progression chart and not curve because I imagine a 90 degree angle in there.....

I'm not accounting for real world dynamics... You're right. There will be some 90 curves, an occasional drop off from the chart and a couple of 180s.

🤣🤣🤣

I'll draw a linear progression chart showing the intermediate steps it takes before we all end up loving colored sticks.

Wow beautiful nem and clowns. That’s a great video there’s something so cool watching clowns in their nem

We all know that's what drew us all to the hobby... Clowns in their nems!

True story and then it progresses to an obsession of colored sticks🤷🏼‍♂️

Goodbye anemones. Hate to do that to my clown, but my tank simply isn’t big enough for split happy bubbletips. They already killed one acro colony. Totally engulfed it. Had to chisel them off the rocks and give them away. In the future I’ll consider a sand dwelling nem. Maybe if I can find a pretty Malu nem or something. No more bubbletips for me

That’s def a risk for nems sucks because they add so much to the tank IMO. The tank is looking great btw your colors and growth are awesome man, very impressed with the pics!! Excited to see what you have in store when you get the new bigger tank up and running.

Pics, fish all seem happy and are enjoying the space. Corals the few LPS that I had from the only tank seem a little peeved, guess there’s not enough nutrients in the water yet. Hopefully at some point this week I’ll add a nem for the clownfish. They seem to be lost without one.
