Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I don't remember where I ran across the issue but there was no real answer at the time, only observation of a potential issue. I pulled the green hammer today to try to clean it up and test a few frags but it looks pretty bad. Before I introduced the Indo Torches the green hammer had been growing steadily for several years from 2 to around twenty-four heads and always fully open. The blue hammer was fairly new and was growing but it was still small. I'll probably end up pulling it as well but so far, and it has been at least six months, nothing else seems to be affected. The torches looked fine for a month or two and then started to crash but it took a month or more to fully lose them. The green hammer started to look stressed before the torches were gone and then the blue hammer started a few weeks later.

Good luck with your tank.
Thanks, same to you! The timeline matches pretty well with mine, expect it's weird that my montis struggled because of it.

I don't think of of my SPS were affected but then again I might not have noticed it.
 
Luis, sorry about raiding your fridge but really enjoying your Heineken. I hope you feel the same way about the cans of Rolling Rock I left you.

Well folks, I'll probably be around for awhile but I'm going to lay in bed. Have to be up early to go get tattooed tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great day and if I fall asleep, goodnight everyone!

Everyone must be sleeping in today.

Wishing you all a fabulous Saturday once your feet hit the ground!
