I get this sometimes, and it has something to do with data within the photo. I take photos, and use photo-editing programs to crop, and save the remaining and upload that. That new file is void of any photo data.
Thanks! I can't seem to get zoas to grow quickly, but my acans are really getting huge. The goal was to keep things off the glass, and they are outgrowing the table I made for them. I was soon getting ready to mount them onto the rocks just to get them off of the bottom glass. The clowns...
*EDIT*
I looked at past photos, and since changing the bulbs out, the colors have become more pronounced.
I cleaned up the unsightly algae on the bottom pane. I usually don't mind it, since its never on the rocks. Its a downside of having a bare bottom is that I now have to think about the...
I was totally out of town for a bit over 5 months for work, with very very infrequent and small changes every other month. I have had a lot of time off the last 45 days, and have been feeding very well, and cleaning considerably. The colors since I changed the bulbs has gotten considerably...
I have been out of town working the last 2 months. My wife has taken care of 2 jobs. Daily water top off, and 1 small weekly filter change in the sump. There was an emergency where the sump return pump failed, but I talked her through replacement on the phone.
I had new lights...
Nanoreefing4fun hit the nail on the head. Aside from sponges, a short period of time out of the tank will not have any major impact on the life of the rock. I have worked rocks in recent past as I transitioned to a bare bottom, and left rocks with anemones and corals out for a half hour...
They are some sort of "green with pink bubbly tips" anemone. The others are RBTA. My tank is slowly turning into an anemone tank. I just noticed today that I had one more than I have in this photo.
Thanks! Total bare bottom is incredibly easy to maintain. I am really glad I went this route...
This is the only advice that really matters. My "schedule" is slightly different than Dave's, but overall the concept is the same. I can get a lot done during a two hour bi-weekly water change.
Our local club had a frag swap a few weeks ago, and I picked up a new anemone. Of course it went in a bad spot. This weekend I decided to remove the bottom plastic eggcrate and go full bare bottom. This allowed me to isolate the anemones to their side of the tank, and I can still mess around...
Tank is possibly recovered? The nems and acans seem fine still. Blue ridge coral also ok. I have a cyphestra on a piece of tile that is looking well also. I pulled out 1/3rd or more of the rocks that were in the tank, and have a few more on the next water change. I am going to a frag swap...
