New Frags From Coral Master
Here are a couple of images of my newly filled frag rack full from Coral Master. Shots don't do them much justice at all.
Within 10 minutes of putting them in my tank most of the frags already had great polyp extension and color! :mrgreen: http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSCF3324.jpg http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSCF3326.jpg |

Update
It has not been an easy past while for me and my reef, as I have hit a few bumps in the road.
Despite quarantining efforts, ich made it into my tank, and I cannot explain my level of embarrassment :redface:. I quarantined every fish I bought with the exception of two. Two which were bought from outside a LFS and I assumed would be safe to but directly into the display tank. Lesson learned. The outbreak first took over my Whitecheek Tang and spread to the other fish. I lost all of them except for three. That's a whitcheek tang, CBB, tailspot blenny, lyretail anthias, linespot flasher wrasse, clown, and starfish that passed. :cry: The female clown, the scribbled rabbitfish and the blue sided wrasse survived although the rabbitfish and clown showed signs of ich during the outbreak, the wrasse never seemed to be infected. All seem well as of now but I am unsure of how I want to proceed. Catching these fish for treatment and a DT fallow period will be nearly impossible without tearing the rocks apart which to me is not an option. I am unsure of what to do..:sad: |
My corals are growing quite rapidly, but unfortunately most of the frags that I got from Coral Master have browned out. I think this is a product of lower light levels than were found in Snappys tank as my Sols were only at about 60% mid day when the corals were introduced and, perhaps, elevated nitrates and phos levels around the time the fish died.
The lights have since been raised to closer to 75% intensity during the mid day hours and I am going to be more diligent when it comes to water changes despite the limitations and complete pain in the arse it is to make RO water out here in the country with extreme TDS levels. Like my yellow milli, my purple digitata started to lose tissue in the center near the base and upon closer investigation I found another little bugger of a crab! I snapped a couple photos this time and from what I have heard, hairy crabs with blue eyes are never to be trusted and I must say, I agree.:lol: http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSCF3345.jpg http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSCF3350.jpg Luckily my yellow millepora has nearly made a full recovery so there is no reason my digitata cannot do the same. |
sorry to hear about your "fishues".....as far as the frags go....brown is ok....they can come back from brown:wink:

Nice build, hope your corals come back for you. Some areas can be much worse for incoming TDS. Its always a battle to keep TDS down in the bad areas. I would suggest adding another prefilter on your R.O system.
