![]() Yep, it was still running. There was no indication that there was anything wrong other then maybe running a little louder then normal. I'll took pictures of the pieces I took out. If I remember I'll post them later.

![]() Huh, I must have missed these two posts, weird! HHmmmmm what's best way to describe my tank as of late. I know! It looks like a bag of @#$ I'm really frustrated, I'm not sure what's going on. The tank does well, everything starts to color up and then everything goes for crap. Almost all of my corals are brown a few of them are now starting to STN. I've moved them up, moved them down, high flow low flow, left them in one place for a long time to aclimate. Added more fish, skimmed less, skimmed more, ran bio pellets, shut them down. New carbon, no carbon. Heavy feeding light feeding, long lighting, short lighting. Had my water tested at one of the LFS ( Thanks btw, took awhile to test ) Everything was in-line for the most part, Calc was high. Mg was a tad low, I brought it up slowly, no change. I have one coral that's actually growing, I have corals in the tank that are close to a year old that have had nothing for growth. Corals that were proven fast growers. Plus the tank is covered in Apitasia or however you spell it. Spent countless hours with a syringe and wet arm pits going after these guys. I'm thinking of trying a CBB next, they seem to be pretty good at clearing it out. My next step is to change salt, I did notice that the tank takes a downward turn about 4 days after water changes. I usually change about 70 gallons every month. The tank has no algae at all with the exception of some film algae on the glass. No hair algae to speak of, nothing. As for updates on the tank itself, my wife gave me the go ahead to get the canopy made so I hope to get that built when I get back from holidays in a couple of weeks.
