Other than lighting?

anything?

 

[Dentoid]

Bacterial and viral infections
Poor water quality
Inadequate flow
Allelopathy
Pollution
Protozoan and flat worm infestations
Changes in temperature
Changes in water chemistry
Looking at an Acro the wrong way
You name it, it'll cause bleaching!

Hi Scott!!

By allelopathy, you mean chemical warfare, right? (I don't have my brain in today, it's out being cleaned.)

 

[Dentoid]

You got it Kathy! Where have you been?

 

[kathywithbirds]

I'm a forum ho now. I read in a bunch of places but that takes up too much time to post a lot. Joined a runners forum too, been hanging out there and learning how to get my fat *** moving.

Whatchoo up to?

:LOL: always a laugh with kathywithpoo

How's lil Al?

 

[kathywithbirds]

lil' Al is good!! Getting fat. I had to increase flow in there so he and Bubbles will work off their guts.

How you doin' Al? Keeping those peeping deer away?

 

[BigAl07]

All is good here... I don't think the "Peeping Deer" like my Christmas decorations. Since I put them out last Friday they've not been back. Silly dear... afraid of an inflatable Snow-man hanging onto a Christmas tree!!

Did I tell ya we have 2 new fawn(s)? Well not new now but new in the late spring.... I almost "got" one with the car... luckily it must have been half filled with helium because it lept OVER the front of Julie's car.... I had to clean the seat though LOL

 

[BEELZEBOB]

awwwww

fawns are cute as hell

 

[kathywithbirds]

Smart fawn... hopefully a lesson for both the babies.

You still drippin' FW Bob?
