hey guys quick update before i go to work well i spent all last night with the tank and after all this i finally have some good news things are on the recover my elegance is showing signs of improvement and is opening up and my brain had his feeders out this morning and after my light was on for a bit they are both starting to open right up. it def was the palys.... like daniella said small tank things go wrong quick and i was forced to do 4 rather large water changes way more than i wanted to and lots of carbon through my reactor.it sucks that so much died in such a little time but time heals all wounds so im just glad i didnt lose my elegance as its my favorite piece. my feather duster is def dead the tube is melting away to nothing i doubt hes gonna return.fish are out this morning and nems still look great. against my better judgement i decided to remove the palys last night i did it very quickly and tried not to disturb them as much as possible so im not sure if it was the water changes which prob added up to be my whole tank maybe even more or the removal of the palys but in either case shes on the mend
im going to frag the palys out side of my tank and keep a small piece and the rest are going in the garbage they are in my water change bucket right now.
not sure why my fish or inverts died maybe with that much slime there was a deplete in oxygen or somethings but i cant change that now so ill up[date again later and im hoping by the time i get home everything is back where it should be
thanks guys
