I received a box of rocks today.

LOL, there were mats under the mats. This process will continue regularly for a while.

The image is misleading. It is bare bottom. The mats were mostly blown away.

;Sorry

It sure doesn't look bare bottom!

Back to the tank. Blew off Cyanobacteria today and did another 10% water change. Anemone is not looking good, but still alive. The Bonsai valida and FHC Fire Weed are dead. The LPS mostly look good, but the Lobophyllia is struggling and the Duncans are still closed. I added a powerhead for flow along the bottom while waiting for a gyre replacement. I have hope and will stay positive with all specimens that remain.

Good luck man! I have seen your tank prior you'll be back on track soon.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Right. It is in poor shape. I admit it. After a month of neglect when life got in the way, I am doing my best. Not giving up. Past 10 days had five 10% water changes. I blow off the Cyanobacteria every couple of days and it is right back. I am not panicking. I will catch up and save what I can. I note all fish seem perfectly healthy. The majority of corals are alive. Many continue to struggle.

Ha! I'm in my late 30s and I still cant grow anything close to a full beard.

Same and it won’t get any better.

 

[Crabby48]

I hit 3,000 posts today and totally missed it. LOL. Yes, I still love arbitrary numbers. I guess with @Katrina71 ’s thread about to hit 20,000 posts I was distracted.

Way behind and have a small brain so sorry for multiple reply’s

Congratulations!!

 

[NY_Caveman]

LOL, your brain seems large to me, @Crabby48. Thanks for stopping by.

I have 4 kinds of ugly algae in my tank right now. Your cyano will get worse before it starves itself out. I think you are there. It's hitting week 3-4 right? Your Duncan will be fine.

Thanks. The Duncan closed for two months when I got it then came back strong. I have high hopes for it. The anemone was looking better today after the water change.

Ha! Today I watched Holy Grail waiting for the couch to come.

Bring out your dead... Excellent choice in movies! [emoji16]

 

[Katrina71]

I wanted to share...

 

[Crabby48]

Bummed your tank is still struggling but the Father’s day pictures was a big up lift. Happy that you found the problem and seeing the progression moving forward

Now I must do and clean up my mess

Beautiful. Wish I can smell them

 

[NY_Caveman]

Thank you for adding some beauty to my thread. The purple with the green is just delicious.

 

[Katrina71]

Buy a coral to compliment the cyano!

 

[NY_Caveman]

I love the way you think. It made me remember that great quote you once had in @Retro Reefer ’s thread:

Pfff. Cyano doesn't scare me! It just makes the greens pop.

 

[Katrina71]

It's still true!

The good news is you are getting the full impact. :- )
Hydrangeas don't have a strong scent.

They are beautiful Katrina!

And the perfect vase. :- )

Did Hippy Kid notice?

Those Fathers day pics were priceless. Makes me wish Kaylee was 6 and innocent again.

Yes. He couldn't believe I'd pick that vase.
