abcha0s' 300G Ultimate Reef

[Chin_Lee]

I love the look of your tank. Its interesting you had a complete loss of your corals. I experienced the same thing when I upgraded my 165 to 300g back in 2007. It took months of constant deteoration before they all kicked the bucket. I don't know what it is but many people (after I experienced mine) also went through the same thing when they upgrade. I thought the big change and addition of new saltwater would have been like a refreshing water change but several months into it, everything just started to die. Never really figured out why.

I saw the pics of the anthias and with my observations of my own anthias, I've come to the belief that these fishes school only for self-preservation...... hoping predators will eat "somebody else closer to me but not me". Hence the schoolings as nightime or lower lights approach. But in the daytime, its open feeding and a free for all buffet.
