Split Pea Soup

[sumpfinfishe]

Hi all, thanks for the concerns

I'm pleased to report that 10 hrs later everything seems back to norm.
After waking up this afternoon I performed a 30% water change and also clean and emptied a full 2 cups of skimate. Carbon and filter floss were already put in place first thing this morning.

The reef has cleared up and all fish seem to be doing well. As for the corals, the acro's and gorgonians seem just fine. The large green open brain, red donut, and the green frogspawn however all remain completley closed. I will keep my "fins crossed" and hope that the LPS corals bounce back in the morning.

Tony: thanks for the suggestions on cleanup, and I think you hit the hammer on the nail when you said that:

Pruning it ... I don't know if it really helps "prevent" but it certainly does help "mitigate" (if that makes any sense). Maybe it helps prevent ... I don't know.

I have always kept this bush small and in control, however over the last few months I let this claupra get to about twice it's normal size. So I'm guessing that is what happened. A few others have told me that this type of event is some what common if claurpa is allowed to grow too large.

Sam: Wow those images look like a carbon copy of my reef this morning Are you sure you didn't drop by and shoot my tank while I was sleeping this morning

I will try to get an image up tomorrow

cheers, Rich
