Glad you caught it early! Same here. Been getting the qt all setup and sticking with the Coral RX regiment. Going well so far. I think I’m doing Bayer, manicuring, and replugging the whole lot next round. I too need to scrape the display so the clock there hasn’t started yet either.
Wish you all the best as well in the battle.
here is a pic of what I have. Do these look like yours??

The journey sucks! Lol. I’ve been browsing the forum but been kind of playing background lately. Super stressful to say the least.
As far as the sticks in qt I’ve had a few hiccups that have made matters worse. No more worms anytime I dip and the healthy frags have good PE although most are browned out or a pastel beige. I attribute a few things to that though and not the worms so much. First, my heater was heating about 3-4’ Above temp I set it to. Found out I’ve been running 80-82’ Which is 3’ higher than my display. Secondly, I purchased and SCA 301 skimmer for the qt. It wasn’t pulling any gunk for a while and I just blew it off as a new tank with little to pull as well as being a break in period. I later noticed there was a brown film in the bottom of skimmer, but it was dry. Turns out there was a leak at the collar of the skimmer neck and all that nasty was just recirculating the tank. Oddly enough, 2ppm nitrate was the highest reading I got. Once i did a bead of glue around the neck, I’ve pulled about 2 full cups of skimmate in 4 days. Ran a little wet to catch up, but nonetheless, it was a non transparent brown. Tank looks great, clear water after skimmer fix, good readings consistently with gallon a week changes in a 20L. (NO3 2, ca 460, Alk 8.3, mag, 1470, po4 undetected on Salifert I know they suck for low level po4, just what I have.)
So far I have lost amid the mayhem: SC Orange Passion, Joe’s Tricolor, 24k acro, albino echinata (however that’s spelled), a few more I’m happy I can’t name off the top of my head.
Oh, and something has gone awry in my display as well. Zs and Ps as well as LPS all look great, although all of my montipora has gone brown and white (no other changes), my JF Raja Rampage chalice randomly decided to melt while the other 7 I have show growth.
It’s been a bumpy road and if it weren’t for my supportive wife, I’d have probably thrown in the towel honestly.
Will continue to push though. It’ll all work out in the end. Right? Lol!!
Glad to hear progress seems to be going well your way. Sorry I bailed the thread. Was getting so frustrated. Ha.
How old is that candy cane colony, nice!One of two islands......
THAnks! It’s a little over a year and a half or so. Started as 3-4 heads. My powerheads knocked it over the other day and broke a piece off with about 18-20 heads. Doh.How old is that candy cane colony, nice!
