Update: I have started to dip the Bahamma Mamma in Coral RX once a day to see if it helps. It is still getting worse even in the lower flow. I am going to put it next to a coral that is doing good in the lower flow area and see if that might be a better spot. Hopes are starting to fade on this guy. I just wanted to give you an update. I am trying to save this one. Everybody else is doing great.

fingers cross... try an lugol iodine and let it chill in low light and flow .. too much dipping will stress it out more..

FYI that wafer algae (lobophora) will inhibit the growth of your frags. I would highly recommend trying to remount that frag. I Unfortunately have this in my system and luckily naso tangs devour it which I have. If you cannot get the frag off, try using a razor blade to slice the algae off.

Thanks dnov99. I am going to clean all of the disks before I putty around the corals. I held off doing that because I wanted to make sure I did not stress out the corals any more then they were with the issues. Now I feel that has been resolved I will be working on getting them all cleaned and puttied. Thanks for the advice. if you have any more I am always open to listen to them.

Just curious as I have not spoken to any of you gentlemen, when is this growout expected to be finalized? Obviously it's not down to a science, but since I'm just getting in this thing, I was wondering what your expectaions are.

Thanks
Daniel
