I remember Bob....ha ha. Like I said to all others before. I'll give them 6 months first . If they work out well, I might actually move them to my frag tank and get different ones (not because of colour or growth problems, but because of fan noise). I designed the system to be quiet and the fan noise bothers me even though everyone that comes over doesn't seem to notice it. Hope this helps.

Well things are going a bit downhill now. I've had a 3 branch frag RTN on me and today a 3" colony RTN. I had a power outage today while I was gone and a month ago my wavysea broke down so my flow is not getting to certain areas of the tank. I've ordered a new one but it's been a month. I decided to test my CA - 370, Alk - 7 Mg 1450. I haven't tested these 3 parameters in over a year. Hopefully the RTN doesn't spread. Good thing the 2 items I lost I didn't really care about. I might stick a couple of powerheads in my tank until the new vertex Motions comes in. Also my T5's are over a year old so I'm getting a bit of cyano during the day and it disappears at night. Argh - fish tanks.

Good luck Dez. Toss some fugly powerheads in there asap you gotta forget the pheasant balls and honour the meat and potatoes.

That totally made sense to me. Your mileage may vary (good luck !)

Sorry to hear this man, I dunno, maybe it's a bit of a summer phenomenon.. Anyhow, I hope the powerheads do the trick!

On the bright side Dez, they are only a couple that you don't really care about. __it happens. Maybe it's those cheap ebay LEDs? JK. Good luck with everything man.

This is strange Dez.....no temp spikes? All other corals look fine? Perhaps it is just a blip on the radar.

Might want to do a water change.....and add some temp flow. Thats all I can think of. Good luck!
