Great pics.

2 buckets of red sea.

Congrats!

It is a good day to be breathing. No doubt it beats the alternative.

RCA usually has them.

I could do mid February.

that blows....how long has your tank been up and running? and how long are your lights on? this is def a mystery. I am sorry to hear about this.

Tank has been up for a little over 1 year. My 3x 250 mh stay on 8 hours and 4 x 80w actinics are on 12 hours. This time of year my temp is staying between 78-80.

Saturday after everything looked a little stressed. I left the lights off for 24 hours and I tested water again and everything was fine. I did a 60gish water change on Sunday and everything perked back up by Monday evening. I have to guess something was wrong with my water chemistry but apparently it was something I do not test for. I test for all the normal stuff. Not sure what else I could test for.

Halides are not cracked. Alk is 8.568 dKH.

Cool tank shape.

I do run halides... not sure about a crack, but will check when I get home

I bought a 10 g ice bucket from ace restaurant supply. Think it was $19. It fits in the stand of my 125 and has a lid. It's food grade plastic.

You're welcome. If you find that Veron series for a reasonable price, please let me know. I am still very surprised it went out of print because it was the only book of its kind. My fingers are crossed that a new, updated version will be coming out soon.

Craig, I talked to the publisher. They say the book is permanently out of print and there will not be a second edition. Cheapest I could find was $350.

I did a big water change yesterday and changed my carbon out. Now just watching and waiting. Hopping it was an isolated incident.

The chalice looks amazing. Thanks for the great coral!

Thanks Lamont. I think I am going to hold off for now.

Thanks Pham. Jut got everything dipped and dripped and in tank. They are already opening up. Your tank looks really great.

It's a total loss. By the time I saw it was completely bleached. I should have worked from home Friday like I had planned and I might have been able I save some of it.

Temps were never higher than 80 or lower than 78.1. My anemone moved to behind the rock as soon as I put it in. From what I can see of the anenome it is fine. I wish I could coax it to the front of the rock.

My wife did tell me that she saw a crab walking all over the cc in the morning. Would that do it?

Ha

It was kinda out on its own. Nitrates were close to 0 and phosphates close to 0 which are normal for my tank. I have a torch coral but it is on the other side of a 125 by itself. I follow all the best practices with my tank Only thing I have done different this week that I just thought of is I added marine sat on Sunday.

I am bummed. That was the one coral that non reefers looked at and commented on.

Went to work this morning and the cc kryptonite I grew from 4 heads to about 30 was looking fine. Nothing unusual. Got home and it was almost completely bleached and flesh coming off in about 10 hours. I monitor my tank several times a day via an apex. Everything was normal. All the other corals look fine. I tested water and all parameters were within range. No spikes or anything too far off where they should be.

Anyone experience this before or have any ideas? I guess I will do a big water change on my Sunday.

Mark did a demo video of the glue. It looks pretty impressive.

If you are looking for dead rock and sand prof has some and it is very nice and reasonably priced.

Downloaded aquaplanner to replace the bean pets app that stopped working after an update. I really like it so far. Nice app.
