| Re: 2(+) Year Retrospective of a 12g Nano In May we we going to Barcelona for a weeks so I added an ATO unit that I bought at my LFS. It has been one of the best buys. I hated manually adding water twice a day.
After we got back I start to notice some HH.
First there was this jet black nudibranch/slug. He just tooled around on the rocks and caused no problems. After a month or so he disappeared.
Then there was a patch of black and gray tunicates which disapppeared as fast as it showed up.
Then there were the bristle worms.
Early that summer the torch coral was doing well. Several of the heads had split. Then some of the heads started to not expand during the day. The coral went down hill from there. The flesh start to deteriorate. Some of the heads clearly died and the remaining ones were bad off. All other corals were doing well. By the end of July I had to remove the coral.
I'm not sure what happened but I put it down to them just not being a coral that that tank with those lights could sustain.
Love my hermits - Scarlet, blue legs, and electric blue.
The FTS is from at 7 months.
The trumpet coral is gone but check out those orange zoas.
The Open Brain is the pride of the tank! |
