looking at that FTS one would never know you were away for 8mths. looks great!
the Prodibio -- do you use it in addition to the GFO? or is it on it's own.

I am only taking pics of the pieces that are doing well, and not taking any pics of the cyano either. I will take a pic later today when the lights have got the cyano up and rip snorting. I should do an RIP thread for all the corals I have lost since I have been away.

Well, the GFO was burned out when I started using the Prodibio. I just put some fresh GFO back in there. So, now I am using them both together. I'm going to start dosing Zeovit Sponge Power too. I was actually away for a year and half, but was home regularly and did half the waterchanges. Just the last 8 months I haven't been home much at all, and most of the waterchanges were done by the maintenance company. They are not as thorough as I am when cleaning, and the under-sized skimmer has not been helping! I'm hoping the tank will take a turn around in the next 6 weeks or so.

Ok, this is a painful post...

...I came back from a trip to BC on Aug 17th to find a frag fell down and was standing upside down like a frickin tripod ON my frickin Scoly! Never in my life have I ever seen another 3-mouth Scoly. I don't think I'm going to save it, and if I do I doubt it will still have 3 mouths. Here it is today as I am slowly losing the battle:




On the brighter side, through the tears I can see some up and coming pieces:

that sucks about the scoly Mindy.....I feel for ya.....similar thing happened to mine......except my mishap was a frog spawn and the scoly slowly died over a couple weeks.....I knew it was going to die so I snagged another one from the shop

That sucks

Mindy those scolys are extremely hardy, I came back from holidays and mine was completely buried. I had shrunk down the probably a dime size and now its back to full size. Took about 3 months or so to recover tho.

The mouths are gaping on it Wes and it won't eat, I think it's a goner.

It was showing feeder tentacles so I was feeding it some Fauna Marin LPS pellets, but it wouldn't eat them. I received some New Era pellets and have been trying to feed it those, but it won't take them either. I tried PE mysis, no luck. My brine shrimp eggs aren't hatching, otherwise I was going to feed it some NHBBS. I will try some frozen foods today. It grabs onto the food, but then lets go.

I moved it yesterday to a place with less flow but more light.
