Cleaning up!?

[Scythanith]

Yup, that’s me cleaning up. I’m growing tired of the tank and I need to do something to keep me in it to win it lol!

[Scythanith]

Tank went through a rough spell. Coming out the other end of it, will post some pictures and a story maybe.

Uh-oh... hopefully you got a handle on it now. Sharing is caring

Started off with a slow decline in sps health a solid year ago. Tested for everything, inspected corals with a microscope, checked water sources/chemicals/salt mix, etc. to no avail. I just waited it out. Once the death, ~50% of the sps finished up, I pruned and waited. There was a bloom of cloves across the rockwork that became a big problem. I spent months researching treatments and building up the courage to dose the entire system. Finally, after a big dose of fenbendazole, the tank was close and gsp free. Then came the inevitable algae bloom. I handled it in stride with water changes and within two t over reacting. I’m coming out the end of it now. Corals are coming back strong. Lost a couple things that make me sad.

In the end I don’t know what happened. I personally feel I motivated the damage as best as possible and am going to come out with Project Mayhem V.2

Good on you for sticking through it though.

[Scythanith]

Thanks bauder, no chance in hell I don't stick through it. It's part of my basement!

[Scythanith]

Thanks, I'm in San Diego right now and will be swinging by AquaSD (thanks Colby for telling me they are here). Hope to bring some decent stuff home!

Sweet! Post some photos. Ugh it sucks when there is random losses that occur. I unfortunately just had a bit of an issue when my Neptune ATK acted up. Lost a bunch of sps unfortunately.
