Thanks guys...hopefully things will get better over time.
Always there to talk hey...

So Tilefish looks like it won't make it...if I could reach him I would take him out but he's in the back. His fins are all chewed up and it looks like something was gnawing on him right infront of his tail????
Brain is also a lost cause I think...even without the Flame picking.

Tested finally...
SG 1.026
Nitrates 20 before the W/C
ph 8.26
Ca 480
kH 7
Mg 1320

Will hopefully get a chance to retest tomorrow since the W/C.

SPS all look great... and the glue and epoxy finally stuck...need more though.

Blueface died. Managed to dig him out from the back of the rocks.
Anyone want a half eaten brain? Just don't think I can do anything to save it.


Repeated tests just to see if W/C affected things.
Nitrates still 20
Ca 500
kH 7
Mg 1280

Should I do another W/C in the next day or so?

Have you tested your WC water for Nitrates BEFORE doing a waterchange? Might want to try that... Lance had a similar Nitrate issue and it was because his WC water already have a 20ppm Nitrate count

Thanks Josh I will have to check the W/C water.

No, I don't even think it's worth trying the babysitting route...too far gone.
