Too many hobbies, hard to keep up with all the formums. I have greatly neglected reefsanctuary! Hahahaha!

My name is still Ron and I am still a reef-a-holic! Downsizing from my full blown system to a NanoCube. :D

I only run the Phoenix 14K 250W DE's over my display and frag rack. Highly recommend them.

That is how it was posted in my local reef forum - "officer, I was looking for my fish" or something like that. LOL

Not everyone heard at the time apparently (me for one). Why does TruTV run "caught on tape" or "Dumbest Criminals" over and over? Cause it is FUNNY. Hey here is my thought - if ya play hard and do dumb things, then you have to be willing to deal with the consequences.

Consistency is the most important consideration regarding pH. The pH of our reef tank is typically handcuffed to the CO2 levels in our homes. You will notice that your pH often drops on days when the outside temp is mild, especially in the spring/fall, as your HVAC does not run as much and CO2...

I was like 18 when I jumped in random pools. :apimp: Hard to say what is going on there but it was entertaining when I read about it on my local reef forum this morning! :drunk:

What type of SPS? Montipora? Acropora? There are several possibilities based on the description.......tiny pests can eradicate corals, high alkalinity can burn SPS from the top down, fish picking (Angel, Dwarf Angel, Foxface, etc)......

Can you specify which one you have specifically? Some are intermediate in care level but others are very difficult. A pic would be good as well, since misidentification is also common in the hobby.

Whew, I have been slack! Hi, my name is Ron and I am a Reef-a-holic MEETING COME TO ORDER!

In case any concerned Zoa keepers missed this.....

Quite possibly your other corals are toxic to the candy cane or some water parameter is skewed. What is you tank stocked with? How heavily is it stocked? Can you describe your water parameters and set up?

This is a condition sometimes nicknamed "cheesing out". Essentially, it is a fungus resulting from rapid die off within this coral colony. It is likely that the lack of light or another irritant stressed out your coral. While I would definitely have recommended the iodine dip, don't do any more...

Nice stuff Rhodes! Cute little Fungia.
