My Tank Thread
Lost a long time resident today, been in my tank for more than 4 years, Not sure what did him in except he was wedged in between my torch and the rock. So much so, that I had to break the torch from the glue to get him out. He was 5 1/2 - 5 3/4 inches long when I measured him sitting there....
Gonna miss you buddy...
4 years ago under the torch that did him in.
On a happier note, I seen this guy last night and tonight sitting in the same place munching away on Astrinas
Tank has had some downs lately with parameters way off. Ca was at 570, Mg at 1650 and Alk over 10. Stopped dosing all together for 2 weeks and brought the Alk down to 8.2, but the Ca is still high at 530-550 and Mg is at 1550.
We'll get it back soon.

Ahhh a Harlequin Crab, they do wonders on Asterina's. Did the same happend to you when you first put him into tank. When I introduced the Crab it looked like the Asterina's knew he was coming after them so they kind of in-sync reacted and climbed higher on glass, they came out of nowhere in large numbers (probably were hiding in rocks). Just for thee first few days. All the best. My Harlequin cleaned up my tank of every asterina....before he died. Didn't get every one since the Asterina's came back a many months later. I think there may have been some in the live rock in my sump, so if you have any live rock or whatever in your sump, inspect and move them to tank for the finale.

@Fudsey sorry to hear about your longnose. Glad your harlequin is keeping your asterinas in check. I'd love to have some asterinas for cuc. Would you be interested in selling/shipping? I'd PP $$.Lost a long time resident today, been in my tank for more than 4 years, Not sure what did him in except he was wedged in between my torch and the rock.

@WallyB Yes they did, all over the glass.
@powers2001 No you don't, believe me. Yes, they did a number on my coralline, rocks are no longer purple, but also my Sunny D zoas are gone and another bunch of no name zoas are gone as well. I wouldn't wish them on anyone's tank. They are a menace when they get out of hand.
@sfin52 yes it is, especially one you've had for years.

Hey man, if it is any Consolation your tank looks great.
Have you considered just doing a water change with water only to bring down you Ca any Mg? Maybe just adding alk to the water so that the alk stays a 8.2?

Still chugging along. Pretty sure I'm going to loose the Mel. He's looking pretty old and beat up.
