Here in a sec I'll post a Pic that hurts my stomach to admit lol I've neglected my tank by stress applied to a big move coming up, and a column spongoides monti, aged, formerly pristine and electric green, is now half rtn. It looks like a half beaten down chevy with broken windows and a rotting roof out in a bar ditch.
I've simply starved the whole thing a bit by putting off water changes and feeding, it's under attention stress as other life areas get the focus
Just like the adage said: mostly dead isn't dead :)
a third is still alive
And by the time it's a quarter I'll be moved.
and I'll mount the new light a bit higher for ten pct reduction
i will run three hundred dollars of roti pods and benepets powder and cyclopeeze through the system if I can find some, paired with busy water changes, until summer. I will then use the results pics for a dust up with someone regarding their use of cipro for the same matter we just fixed by tank exercise. Pills vs diet and exercise: the duel continues.
But my coral looks way worse, i wish it was as healthy as those above no joke. Mine are super old and have been through this twenty times/ confident for sure. Even my brain coral which I've had since 08 is 45% recessed, in 2012 it was 90% recessed and I bought it back to what it was last year.
We leave these tanks sitting sedentary. Most but not all reefs have periods of decline associated with a steady state that just wasn't ideal. These broad moves of + feed, + export so waste won't compound, - light power + 8 weeks is reef tank cpr. I will use it to bring my insulted reef back. You could apply this formula above to a great running reef and it would only boost coral growth during + phases
When we exercise them, they respond no joke but it's way way delayed
Must sustain all actions two months min to see edges and curls of new coral growth. * i won't frag my Monti, it'll just overgrow the stn part since it isn't some tank disease causing this.
The system is simply protein starved with no matching light reduction following: so some peeled off
Gimme till summer for updates. Plus i had to put it on petsmart water lol since I've been in Austin. Clearly she may not like that! Lubbock= has shop that sells tropic marin pre made. This time next year it'll be totally fixed.
