I have some unhappy news to report my tank is still killing SPS, so I am harboring thoughts of killing it after my 180g is up and running.
I added some SPS, and I'm starting to see the beginning of the death pattern. The polyps no longer come out on my new SPS, and I'm seeing bleaching in the tips.
I was also away this past week, and came home to dead clams. Those two tiny clams posted above died. I came home and they were buried in my new sandbed and weren't seen. I dug them out and one was gone, and the other looked like it may make it. Both are now dead.
I feel like a failure because I can't make this tank work for me, only against me. I posted up a request for help thread here. I closed my one on RC because I kept getting suggestions that were not only out to lunch, but showed that the responders hadn't even attempted to look at my tank journal thread.
On the bright side all my fish are doing well, my remaining clams are growing and sucking back the Ca like nobody's business. I've had to bump up the output on my reactors lately. I'm also liking the sandbed I added back in. It brightens up the tank, and it gives the system a whole new look.
