Now that's what I call an appetite, can't believe he wiped them all out. What do you use for a cleanup crew ?
It's a purple tip but unfortunately the pic doesn't do it justice the purple is just not as vivid in the pic guess I have to play a little more with the camera :columbo:

Thank guys
Unfortunately the problems continue...most of the SPS have lost their color due to not properly acclimating them to the new XM 10k bulb, although initially they reacted very well but the drastic increase in PAR levels was more than they could bear, hopefully I haven't lost them. I also lost my beautiful Scott's Wrasse which led me to taking the tank apart and finally removing the Dottyback and the Flame hawk which continually harassed both Wrasses, it hit me hard losing the Scott's I had grown really attached to him he had a rare color morph and was eating right out of my hand even would let me caress him.
I have added a new Velvet Wrasse aka Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura and will also replace the lost Scott's Wrasse. Will post some pics when I pick him up on tuesday.

Absolutely a bummer Robert. Paracheilinus and Cirhillabrus rock! Good luck with the cyanopleura!

Hey Robert,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with the tank. I've been going through some obnoxious issues myself with my tank so I can sympathize. The tough part IMO is staying motivated through all the tough times and the frustrating trials and tribulations of reefkeeping. I've pretty much gotten a handle on my issues (or figured out how to get them solved), so I feel better about the tank. But for awhile there, I didnt want to even look at the tank....
Keep your chin up man....You'll get through it.
Besides, if you get discouraged and quit posting things, how else are we gonna get our fix?

Thanx everyone for the kind words.
Very well said Nick !
It's been really frustrating to see especially the Caps decline they were doing do well and had grown considerably from small frags now they have algea all over them now, I don't think they will recover and I feel like such an idiot for not aclimating them properly should've known better.
More bad news, the Scott's Wrasse is at the LFS and has been in a QT for a week but has developed Ick so he will continue to be there until he recovers.
