Too much polyp extension?

[Nano]

Just a thought, your tank is what 180g? Maybe the 2 sols aren't enough anymore and the milli is reaching for more light? Just a thought. I know I now have my sol at 85% on my tank (35g) my bonsais color is coming back finally. I think it was a light issue for me cause my one coral(dont laugh) salty nuts had polyps out so much it just looked like a fuzz ball, after turning the lights up slowly they've retracted slightly.

Actually out of 4 tanks I only have one with some hair algae in it. The HA is in my fowlr tank. Years ago I bought live rock from a guy who was selling it for $1 per pound. He admitted that he was selling so cheap because it was covered in HA and he had done everything to get rid of it but nothing worked for him. Basically he was sick of fighting with it and was going to start over with new rock which is why I got a great deal for it. I figured I could deal with having HA in a fowlr system in order to get cheap rock so I bought it. Unfortunately I've been battling with it myself ever since. I've had rabbitfish get rid of it but then as they got larger my king angel got too mean to them for them to stay in that tank and the HA came back. Now I have a small kole tang that has been working at clearing up the HA, best part is my king angel has no interest in him and he won't get to a size big enough for the king to start to pick on him.

BTW I didn't offer my experience I just tried to explain why Levi said what he said 'cause it seemed like you didn't understand what he was getting at.

laurie i remember when you had all those mushroom rocks man that was crazy:P

Thanks Denny, I still have the mushroom rocks unfortunately when I re-aquascaped my fowlr tank most of the mushroom rocks ended up on the bottom or towards the back of the tank where you can't see them.

Id be embarrassed to post that one of my fish died. It would mean that i did something completely wrong.

Yeah well at least I did everything I could, as I documented it so others could learn from it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have a few things to say. WRT milli's some are extremely hairy or polyp crazy and some are not. The sunset is one of thou from all the pictures that i have seen. super hairy with lots of polyp extenions.

2. Doing a water change may in fact cause the polyps to exten in or out. REASON the elements in the water change may have what the coral needs or what the coral is trying to reach out too. Or the water change may clear out something that the tank has in that is effecting the coral. Now that is going to depend on the WATER CHANGE SIZE.

Now Marko I have never met you before, However I speak my mind and i have been spoken to about my words you can say. I don't kiss butt for a more professional language since this is a family board and more people at a younger age use this. But you do come across as a very cocky person as your crap dont stink. Now i'm sure you are a great guy as some members have pointed out. may be its the board life that people dont get to meet you and you are the first to help out someone. But you are the first to flame someone or point fingers.

sorry buds that is just me speaking the truth. Like my Wife has always told me AIN'T KARMA A BIT.CH.

But I feel that this thread is going to be close to be closed. if you have issues with some one take it tp a PM. If you have said something to someone that was totally offside rude, well expect it back 3 fold.

other then that, if you are having issues still with your tank, PE may be the LED's arent for you
or the lights are to high.
may be your Water changes arent big enough
or some thing in the food that is causing your corals to react.
is it just that coral? or do you have a yellow watchman goby they love milli's

I dont know.

if you are still stumped pm me your number I can call ya and offer some advice or chat what i have done before.
