So I have lost a lot of my corals to the brown jelly disease and it'd my fault for not asking about them sooner. I am still waiting on meds to arrive and will treat whatever is still alive when it gets here. Should I automatically treat any new corals I get in the future to keep this from happening again?

No not necessary but I would wait a little while to make sure your tank is disease free.

Ok it will be a while before I can afford to replace what I have lost so no issue there.
 
I wish I had asked about them sooner I just thought they were unhappy with the flow and algea that was growing on a few of them. Yet another very painful and expensive lesson to learn. :crying-face:

Unfortunately that is how we learn and improve in this hobby. I had bjd wipe out my torches, frogspawn and hammers. Now I have a box with all the ingredients for a KFC dip. When I first started, not a lot of information and a lot of bad advice from lfs’s , I had 16 years of trial and error.

Leftover Pork Fundido for dinner. Getting ready to head out for some Guy's Pickleball with my son and group from church. Y'all behave while I'm gone! Or better yet, act like I'm here...?

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 20 33.9%

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 8 13.6%

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 8 13.6%

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 12 20.3%

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 15.3%

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 10 16.9%

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 3.4%

  • I haven’t really considered this before

    Votes: 4 6.8%

  • Something else (see my comments in the thread)
