thanks for the love

How did the crash happen?

 

[bairdimusprime]

My heater was in the sump. The temps dropped below 0 so the difference between temps of the tank and sump was nearly 8degrees at one point it caused a crash... BroncosZOA helped me big time

 

[fscbishop]

how much did you pay for the rock, really nice!

 

[bairdimusprime]

BroncosZOA got it for me contact him on pricing it was an amazing deal

Woke up this morning to one of my favorite sights my six year old running to staring at the tank and not the tv

Well my Japanese led died on me... Fortunately I still have the LEDs marineland donated after the storm. I know they get a bad rap but they're lighting the tank just fine for me. In fact they're brighter than the old light. I'm going to document my growth from here

do you have a sump for this tank? if so try putting the heater in there. This tank also looks like it needs more live rock

 

[bairdimusprime]

i definately need more live rock!!! lol and yes i have a sump but with this winter we had temps in the negatives it caused a major difference in temps between the sump and the tank which caused a crash which led to the loss of many of my corals.. i'll stare at an ugly heater knowing my tank is stable

In my opinion I think your anemone is starving. The tentacles looks stubbier than before and the mouth does not look tight. you might want to look into that.

 

[bairdimusprime]

you're right, its on the recovery. i had a horrible crash and this is the only one that survived. its colors are coming back and its fed every other day. I appreciate your concern but i am on the track of bringing it back

 

[myownlife]

Good deal. I have a 60 cube as well. I hope you can turn it around. Good luck

 

[bairdimusprime]

Thanks we work on it regularly I'm putting in an order for some real reef rock and will go from there. Fortunately the tanks stable now

 

[bairdimusprime]

Updated photos of the tank today. She's stable and happy added a new clean up crew as well to tackle that hair algae
