Update:


There is life!!!! I have one cerith snail that survived! I'm not sure how, but it did and is traveling all over the tank and glass! I never knew snails could be so hardy!


Corals aren't doing as well. All acroporas except 1 looking like empty whit skeletons. The other corals are still alive, but not thriving.


Still waiting for the ammonia to come down before I add the corals back to the tank.

Blah. Hopefully by much longer and everything works it’s way back to normal. All you can do is move forward now.

So ammonia has gone away. Seems like the cycle is nearing completion.

I found a second snail that survived! I know have one cerith and one trochus snail that survived!

I did another big water change today and moved all the coral back to the 75 gallon. It looks like I have 2 acropora that still have a bit of colour on them. Hoping they can pull through. Is there any chance that the ones that have bleached out will come back or are they dead?

Anything I can do to increase the chances of survival for the 2 remaining that aren't completely white?

I still need to get a replacement power head. I just had to buy new tires for my truck which ate up a big chunk of my fun money. So looks like I will go with another hydor koralia for now until I can save up for something better.

Took a few pics of the acros.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e6441918ee.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1c67f84c7e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...56137a6e20.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cb331d986a.jpg

If the stony coral is completely bleached (flesh is gone) then that frag is toast. The only way I have been successful with STN/RTN is to frag the healthy fleshy parts.

Yay to no ammonia! Maybe it’s time to put in a little canary fish? My little Springer’s damsel is a great little guy.

Let me know when you’re ready for some chaeto or some starter frags to test things out.

Ok. The flesh is gone so they won't be coming back then. The other 2 still have some flesh on them. Doesn't look like enough to frag though.I think I will hold off on fish for a little while longer.

What sort of starter frags do you have?

I’ve got a few things that are pretty bullet-proof: Forest Fire digi, GSP, Armour of God zoas. You’re welcome to try them out in your tank. If they don’t grow in there, nothing will:lol:

If it’s too small to frag just leave it and it will be a toss up to see if the frags peel completely or stop. If they stop over time they may heal up slowly.

I will take you up on the forest fire and zoas in a couple weeks. Need to get a new powerhead first.

Ok. I will keep an eye on them. Hopefully they pull through. One has a couple spots that are bleached and the other is one side.
