Hello everyone and Happy New Year to all

After a very busy season, I enjoyed sometime off, going back to Cape Breton for a few days for the christmas break.

I had a co-worker look after my tank while away, the ease of living relativity close to the aquarium during the holidays out weighed the inexperience with aquariums he had.

When coming home, I expected to fine things in not the best shape, and I wasnt far from wrong.

A purging skimmer, that must have spilt at least 3 cups of skim mate back into the tank, micro bubbles every which way, LPS and SPS bleached colonies, and brutal red algae.

I took some pictures to show before and after, things are getting back to normal, but still not ideal.

now the after

a new addition

Sadly 4 of the 7 died, the 3 that remain have their days, but out of ten I would give them a 8 on good behaviour.

If I could have a tank full of the nutty bright pink coral I'd be in heaven WOW i love the colour on that! All those colonies you removed...did they all perish? I can't believe in that timeframe with essentially no skimming things changed that fast. Is this due in part to your use of zeo? Are the tolerances tighter?

Your 'scape still makes me frisky man.
