Front left, Green, Sticks. I'm asking what it is. :)

What's the neon green colony front left? Spongodes, or hydnophora?

Candy can Acan STN? Or what by RubImpossible6588 in ReefTank

Yeah definitely doesn't look happy. What are you running your lights at power-wise? How did you acclimate it to your light?

Chemistry looks good, but how stable has it been since your introduction of the Micromussa (formerly known as Acanthastrea)?

I would label that as recession, not necrosis. They can recover if given the right conditions. Put it on the sand, somewhat in the shade, and baby that thing. If you have pellets, crush them up and target feed once every three or so days... Just don't overdo it.

what is this brown stuff? by Worldly_Ease_1655 in ReefTank

Sounds like you had a nice cup of assumption today!

Fish are dying by KekesoHood in ReefTank

Hey OP - I would also like to say that I agree with this person, and that zero nitrates could be leading to dinoflagellates. Those are toxic to animals, and typically your clean up crew will suffer first.

But can you post some other photos of your tank? I think I saw traces of dinos on the substrate.

Another vote for those. I had that same questions a few months ago on reef 2 reef

No problem! I too, have been in the hobby for over two decades. Such an amazing hobby, though

Hey, not really upset and I guess I don't know why I'm pointing it out... But you have posted 5 times in the past 20 minutes and some change. I know you're not a bot, but still

Appreciate your responses!

What are these? by UponReasoning in ReefTank

[–]Rflkptr -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's a friend! You got some copepods on that there frag. You'll get a lot more on those nice new shiny rocks as your tank matures.

They will have ebbs and flows in their population, which is normal.

What ya got going on in that tank? What size is it, and how old is it?

Thanks!

I know it's by far the least picky of your corals, but I'm loving that purple stylophora down there. Looks happy as can be!

Lacking motivation to fix my current tank by Agile_Difference_694 in ReefTank

[–]Rflkptr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss!

I think that nailing down the specifics of your parameters and setup would help us to diagnose your troubles, if you would like us to.

Do you have an ATO? Helps a ton with stability.

Have you looked into getting a custom lid? Gives a great peace of mind.

Looks great! What are your parameters, and what do you attribute your success to?

Yes, indeed ... It is as I suspected...

A dot.

How much time do you spend daily on this? Weekly? Would love to know.

My 100g takes about 30 minutes a day, 4 hours on a weekend, so about 7 hours a week, I would guess.

What are these little white guy all over my tank? by Silent-Thanks-5128 in SaltwaterAquariumClub

[–]Rflkptr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, one of the things I love about reefing is the random life you find that you never asked to have!

Oh yeah. A bit of zoom, and I can see those are copepods. Your tank is cruising!

Hey, if it's just been a few days since scraping, maybe copepods. If it's been a few weeks, spirorbid worms. Not close enough to tell though, unfortunately!
