00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Calmwaters]

A whole bunch of different infections from my understanding.

Mine as well

I know Merkey has a cure that's very effective most of the time - basically KFC I believe? Anyway, he's posted on a couple of other threads. It's not an easy fix though unfortunately.

What's up y'all?
Good Saturday?

Gently sways, but does it sway upwards or just kinda drape downwards?

just saw this . no it didnt droop downward. it was upward swaying

That's good.

I think part of Randy's reasoning (or maybe Miami's reasoning for agreeing) for not testing Magnesium is because the test kits aren't super accurate when it comes to Magnesium.

i took the pics in two sets because of the length. hard to get it all in. i know some of the corals dont look happy. ive got a stupid kleini butterfly im trying to catch because he wont quite eating stuff

 

[smitten with ocean life]

im trying to remember. i was thinking his reasoning was that if something else was off ( cant remember what it was. one of the major things we test) than mag would be off too. so it wasnt worth it to check mag because your other number would be off too. i could be wrong though.

Things measure differently at different salinities too.

I honestly believe as aquarists we test and be as accurate as we can.
I've never tested mag but I started adding 1/4 cup per week and my mangroves took off and my tank looks better.
Look at Kevin's tank my god it's beautiful and you see where he goes with magnesium.
Just 2 cents worth there....

Love your setup!

There's a lot going on in there. Not a ton of SPS and LPS corals - more softies it looks like?

Definitely coralline growth. Usually that stuff eats magnesium. I think it's good to have higher magnesium so that's good for you.

Any possibility your Klein's is picking at the torch? That irritation could cause flesh band recession and possibly lead into BJD infection.

thank you for the kind words. i guess we will see what happens. :crying-face: it always amazes me how drab my pics turn out compared to what it really looks like in person.

 

[smitten with ocean life]

yes all softies. i havent the courage to try the acros yet. well, that little turd couldve been i guess. though i never caught him. he mostly eats at the zoas, bubble coral and the poor cynarina. between him and the sailfin blenny, a couple of the corals dont have a chance:(

i dipped the remaining head in revive and an iodine dip. trying to decide if i should just cut my losses and throw the whole thing away so the prolem doesnt spread....

You can put it in a separate holding tank with air and a heater and some circulation.

awesome tank, was always a sucker for zoa covered rocks and green shrooms.

 

[Linlox]

How bad does that look? Filling it up to the chip outside to see how it does. The tank is definitely leaking.

can an auto windsheild repair place do their magic on glass tanks?

 

[smitten with ocean life]
