Phoenix stage

A bit depressed as my Torch is struggling. Might be stressed as the flow changed a bit from cleaning and replacing a broken Gyre a month ago. Last week I lost a head which was no big deal but last night I found 2 others going down hill with what is potentially brown jelly. I promptly removed those affected heads.

Sent out an ICP test and then treated with some Prodibio. I haven’t used Prodibio regularly or at all since last year some time. Going to test with my home kits today.

I am wondering if I threw off the nutrient balance when I pruned the Chaeto and did a water change of 20%. My other euphyllia aren’t expanding like usual so something is up

My pH had a stagnation yesterday too. Typical top out is 2100 and it was 1500 yesterday. Skimmer is working just fine

Torches seem to be doing okay now. A couple heads do look to be receded but it’s probably due to flow.

ICP test results should be in today.

SPS have done quite well over the last 6 months. There is a Fuzzy Grinch behind the bigger Purple Stylo that is starting to spread out across the rock and spike.

I also officially won my battle vs the Vermetids. All their tubes have been encrusted over or mostly broken down
