Clown playing dead up in the lonely nem

And a little Follow the Leader.

@SaltyT , the lightening scales on this guy's sides, just part of him transitioning into a grownup?

Looks like abrasions or something bacterial going on

 

[OrchidMiss]

Hrmmm, ok. I'll keep an eye. He's been like that for a while.

Do you have coarse sand?

There is a lot of crushed coral in the substrate.
I'll get the real camera out later when I get home. I've noticed the lighter coloring for probably 6+ months, probably longer?
Now that I've pointed it out and I'll get good photos tonight, I'll be able to see if things change or get worse.

Looks good. I agree with Salty about the H. Yellow. Something is going on. I would start with selcon added to food. I think it helps heal up abrasions.

Ah the crushed coral is giving him those abrasions. He may always show abrasions to some extent sleeping in crushed coral. His yellow coloration makes it more noticeable. You must have really good water quality if he's had those that long without developing a bacterial infection. Keep up the great water quality and diet!

I'll still see if I can get some better photos when I get home. I did look closely, didn't see any missing or lifted scales when I was taking these. Hoping that's all it is. Thanks!

@OrchidMiss Five pages in 14 months just doesn’t seem right. We do that in 20 minutes on Frank’s thread.

Ahem.... still on page 6.

 

[crusso1993]

Ahem.... still on page 6.

It's ok. Still 6x's the amount on my build thread! Besides, perfection takes time.

Ahem.... still on page 6.

Wwe want to respect the purity of this thread.

CoralVue MaxSpect Razor 300W half dead.

CoralVue MaxSpect Razor 300W half dead. 3 of the 6 lights turned dim even when it is set to 100%. I smelled some burning so I took it apart. The green thermal block on the driver board has burned up and I tried to save it by replacing the block but the PCB is too damaged to allow solder to stick...

Well, apparently I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Looks like I'll have to contact Maxspect.

While I was messing around with the light settings to get clear shots of Goldfinger, and I saw a spark in the center of the light. Now the white LEDs in the 2 left blocks won't turn on at all, and the right 4 lights, the whites won't turn off, regardless of moving them to 0%. I've left the light unplugged since Friday. Now that I've found that this is a fairly common problem, hopefully I shouldn't have too difficult of a time fixing it. I hope.

I am obsessed with the shape of your tank! The depth seems like a pain probably for maintenance, but it really does look so nice!

I think there are more pros than cons in a deep tank. You get tons of more room for rock scape space and structure plenty of spacing between glass and more room for fish and coral placement on the floor of the tank. Only con at least in my eyes is that it’s a little tricker to get flow evenly and maintenance over all.

From top to bottom and placement of rock. Deeper tank care very nice for mixing a reef up.

Especially for mixed reefs.
