chimera Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 definately going to try again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I noticed last night my pink poc (which is a really nice pink) is receding on the top in about half a dozen places (similar tissue necrosis to some other acro's but on a much smaller scale). where it's receding (about a couple of mm square) its yellow in colour, perhaps a mixture of the pink and brown algae taking over? will be mega gutted if i lose this coral... will post pic's later to show what it looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 With you there! It was my kids that were into it, Sunday afternoons we had to go to the ninja turtle shop. Me, well i didn't know one from the other so as far as the kids were concerned I was from the last century. Was funny though, quick as, ninja turtles became no longer the "in" thing, in fact it was an embarrasement at school to have any of the stuff, it all got left at home! :lol: First small boy lesson on the fickleness of fashion! :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much too fast can cause tip recession. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Also how long are you running your MH for maybe reduce your photo period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Are you still dosing potassium? Too much too fast can cause tip recession. no, decided not to dose anything now til it comes right. did dose 10ml per day for the first 4 days though as directed by zeovitnz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelers Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Haha there's an awesome class photo of mine from standard 1, and we could normally wear mufti but on the photo day it was compulsary uniform. So being the only one that forgot - I'm right in the middle of a sea of blue sporting a bright white Leonardo TMNJ shirt. :lol: I find it weird that things go suddenly off the rails and you havent really done anything very drastic to the tank. Are things looking better/stalled, or are they actually getting worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 i think they're getting worse. acro's are looking bleached - more so than they were before - however LPS are doing better? Heading to Melbourne tomorrow for a week, typical of my luck I'll get back and everything will be dead... :evil: Only thing i can put it down to is the fluidised carbon, nothing else was dosed out of the ordinary. Will be making sure kH, Ca and Mg are sweet before I head out tomorrow, ensure CR is in check, skimmer is empty, topup water is full then just hope it comes right :-? Never managed to get around to a water change this weekend, so will have to do one when i get back (although have done 2 x 20% water changes in the last 2 weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 So sorry to hear about your tank chim. Hope nothing bad happens to it whilst you are away. Are you having someone local come check on it....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 no, no one local just cross fingers its ok i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 welcome home did you have a god trip? going to cut photoperiod down to 6 hours a day Should have done that when I suggested it before you went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krama Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 today looks like a beautiful day to do a water change, hardly a ripple on the water this morning. If you are over this way, matakatia, why dont you let me know and you can have coffee... and give me some tips on my new tank. mj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
