Sauced and Confused (Lost Remix)

[StatelineReefer]

Weird Sheets about...

The last few days, many LPS aren't opening to full potential. Tissue looks fine across the board but All of the torches are Maybe 1/3 inflated. Both Trachy's are shrivveley. None of the acans looking right. Hammers are inflated, but not looking right. Way too much neck.

No3: 13.7
Po4: .135 and lowering slowly with GFO
Alk is maintaining between 8.5 & 9 Dkh dosing by hand.

This is happening at high, medium, and lower light areas. Flow has not changed.

SPS are looking good. Softies and mushrooms are fine. Lots of LPS not affected..

The nasty algae which I believe are diatoms instead of dinos don't seem to be at all affecting the corals in question. I'm not doing much about it. Waiting for it to consume the silicates and hopefully die off.

There is only passive carbon in this system.

What am I not seeing/thinking about?

How's ph?

How's ph?

Couldn't tell you. Don't test it.

just well fed ?? for now,considering just added all the new fish and feeding tank more ?

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

I've never really fed coral directly with any sort of regularity. The water is a lot cleaner right now than it has been in a long time as measured by nitrates but with the new gang in I'm sure those will be climbing up.

Looks like what I'm looking at tankwise.

Well was. Mine were definitely dinos . Stringy and grew fast fast

I've got almost no bubbles with the snot, and it's Mostly contained to new rock and new sand.

That's really good. Probably silicates as you said. Gone in a jiff

 

[Nate Chalk]

Uhh.... Maybe just showing some stress from new lights and tank?

You moved them over a couple weeks ago. From what I've seen coral shows stress after the fact.

The jiff needs to hurt TF up..

It would be very coincidental to me if different groupings of corals, after displaying fine for a few weeks, all started showing the same symptoms at the same time across varying places in the tank, due to a stress response. Not impossible.

Mother in law reported that corals all were still glowing, that's a good sign right

No dead fish good sign

No skimmate coming out of the skimmer idk

Hmm .... But they all moved at that time. The only similarity?

Any possibility of any leaching of metals from anything? Maybe just need more nutrients.

Unlikely and I've got a newer bag of cuprisorb in the sump.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Maybe you could try yelling at them

I believe there is a delayed response from coral to new conditions, so them looking fine for a couple weeks before physically showing they're going through an adjustment sounds right...

I have nothing constructive to add, but 19 pages in 4 weeks is impressive!

We have another thread that will put on 19 pages in 4 hrs when it gets going.

Saw this and it reminded me of grandpa Steve. Just have to figure out which one of you let the cat drive.
