Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I need to take some new photos but here's a few after I did a minor re-scape a few months ago. I'll take a picture after I feed tomorrow; I have sooo many babies right now.

I love the contrast of the black sand against the shrimp! Your entire display is awesome
 
Hello all, one of the tailspot just die (the bullied). It should have happen very recently. @Katrina71 i took photos for you if you want to take a look and understand what happens (injury, parasite, bite...) . Yesterday I noticed an injury on the back on its head I thought maybe hole in the head disease. It was eating yesterday night and went to bed on a cave.

Oh so sorry to hear that Remi. I know they hadn’t been getting along very well but we were all hopeful. At least you won’t have to stress all day wondering if everything’s okay. A small consolation though.

Thank you Jennifer. I ordered a frags rack (should arrive today) and some barnacles (waiting since nearly 2 weeks to be delivered) to make a cozy home for it during the day. I took photos as I am not sure it is due to physical attack from the other tailspot. For example the fins are not in bad shape by nipping. The injury on the head doesn't look like as a bite from a tailspot.

the gang here can help identity injury vs disease as I;m sure that’s important for you to know. The barnacles will be used by other fishies and I think will be a beautiful addition to your aquascape
 
Another question, my cuc during the night make corals fail down. unluckily, I have 2 which got burnt in the process. One lost 70/80% (lost tissue and bleached yesterday) and the second one 50% (losing tissue today). I can't cut them. Do I keep them in case they grow back on the burnt part?

Take some pictures; in some cases, you have to cut dead part, in other cases, you let heal. The experts will help in the morning.

More importantly, are the coral frags attached to aquascape or on a frag rack? You will need to secure better, or it will continue to happen.

There are really good videos on how to secure frags to scape I can send you.

Also, some frag racks really secure the plug in it; however quite a few brands don’t.

I changed the aqua scape few days ago and I am waiting some coral Crete to reattach them. I was not happy with glue but last time I tried coral Crete it didn't mix well as it keep hard part, I am assuming storage issue as it can be very very hot here. I will get photos on the 2 frags. One got burns by zoas and other one by a chalice.

What brands of epoxy and glue do you have access to? Send us the list and we’ll tell you the better quality brands.

Heat is definitely a factor- might need to store in frig ( depends on manufacturer recommendations). Or do you have a cellar?

I use seachem for both. The storage issue is on the shop. Have a good night
