skippy

Hi there Have attached a couple of photos (before and after) of one of my corals that is receding badly. I have another one doing something similar. Both of the corals were next to a rock absolutely smothered in frilly mushrooms and it may be that that mushrooms were resting on the coral and shading them out. Then again it could be something I'm not doing right with the water. Can supplements help? Would appreciate any thoughts anyone out there may have.

Hi - Rogan - luv the photobucket thing - I've turned into a pic upload junkie! :evil: Have loaded a bunch more pics into http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g125/skippy_photos/ Some are old pics of my finny friends that have passed on to the big tank in the sky - but some of the pics are quite neat. Have also stuck a for help post in the disease forum to see if anyone can shed some light :-?

Figured out a way to put the pics on (thanks for the link Rogan) Link to photos below: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g125/skippy_photos/

Hi again Thanks for the welcome. Will try and get a few pics up over the next day or two - the wife is going mad with the camera at the moment (she's trying to get a pic of the fire shrimp but the fish keep getting in the way). Then I just need to figure out how to get them on the forum. Getting stock is a bit of a drama. Mainly from Auckland (HFF or Jansens) although I get a bit of stuff from Richard at Northland Pet and Aquarium in Whangarei. Everytime we go to Auck we have a poly box in the car! Started the hobby in Auck b4 we moved up here a few years back - tank shifting is not fun when you have half a tonne or so of gear and livestock to shift 300kms! nuf for now, will work on the pics

Hi There all I'm brand new to the forum, and this computer chat sort of thing so excuse if the ettiquette is a bit rough. Have been into reef tanks for a few years now. Having found this forum it appears there is a whole hidden reef tank community out there - is there anyone else in the Far North? I've got a single tank - 1400 long with a bow front, with undertank sump and refugium. Corals are mainly leathers and mushrooms, 9 fish (all different except a pair of fire clowns) as well as a fire and coral banded shrimp. Have had a few (expensive) losses over time so would be interested in peoples thoughts on what went wrong Have loved looking at the members tank pics - it is cool to see how others have set their systems up. One day will post some pics of my tank
