120 gal display still going 15 years. I did have a mishap over several months now. First it was flatworms that ate huge colonies of orange Yuma recordias. I treated with Flatworm exit and took care of it. Then my phosphates slowly became elevated and I started to see cyano on the sand. This resulted bad for a dinner plate sized chalice. It started to lose tissue and receded until it was gone. I also had polyp bail out on a nice green hammer colony. Other corals also had problems. The bubble corals, 26 and 27 years old seemed unaffected, although growth was stunted. I started with more frequent water changes and more frequent maintenance. I also removed the sand around the front. About a month ago I started PO4 export from Brightwell aquatics. The next day, my 15 yo yellow tang was dead without any signs or symptoms of sickness. He ate the night before. No other fish were sick or dead in the morning. Maybe old age.
Right now, things are starting to look better and the PO4 is down to .5 it was 2 at one point! I am going to continue to improve conditions and then start restocking corals again. Lost most of my corraline too. I will post again when things get better.
