I will take you up on the forest fire and zoas in a couple weeks. Need to get a new powerhead first.

Ok. I will keep an eye on them. Hopefully they pull through. One has a couple spots that are bleached and the other is one side.

I had 2 coral colonies (garf bonsai, pink birdsnest) that I thought I had killed (bleached) a year ago because of a phosphate/nitrate/alkalinity issue. Low and behold, I cut away the skeletons and there was nothing left or at least I thought. About 8 months later the bonsai started growing back (2" long now multiple stems) and I noticed the birdsnest growing back about a month ago. It is a little over an inch long now multiple stems.

You just never know.

I have about another half dozen or so I killed in that same episode that I am still holding my breath for.

I've left them in the tank so we will see if any of them come back.


The pocilapora is now showing some bleaching in spots. I moved it to another spot with higher flow so hopefully it will like that.


I have been having some issues with my frogspawn not opening up. Any idea what that could be?

I have lots of pieces of pocillopora. I will give you another one once your tank has stabilized.

Thanks, but I'm going to save it!.... Hopefully.

I moved it to a spot closer to the one remaining powerhead so it gets more flow. Hopefully that helps it.

What powerhead are you considering? I have Jebaos right now, but true to their reputation, they’re starting to have issues after 6months. I’m likely going to get Tunzes as they have good reviews but are more affordable

Thinking I might just get another hydor koralia and then save up for something a little more expensive later on.

Your brave! I would never put the same PH back in my tank after what happened to you.

You know, I thought about that, but I had that power head for 4 years and I got it used from the guy I bought my old freshwater tank off of. So I think I should be ok for a few months while I save up for something better. Maybe I will ask for a fancy power head for my birthday in august.
