Some updates of my additions,

another pink birdnest which is really pink, hope i can keep the color

red monti with white polyps,

Gotten another german blue digi which has really blue polyps, the smaller frag which i accidentally broke it while gluing to my rocks shows a clearer blu polyps,

Also got a small frag of radioactive birdnest as my current one kinda bleached and not doing well.

Some sps from GO sps preorders, not really what i wanted but i guess it will do.

unknown of its id, anyone can help?

This one has a milky base and body with light purple tips.

The other one has yellowish-light green body and blue outer coraites and yellow inner coralites.

Last pc is a green millepora,

Now some random pics,

U must hv read from pg1, ich outbreak was some time bk, now my tank's fishes ok liao, though I dun really keep a high bioload of fishes & inverts.

Yes, those r Aussie scolys but sadly I only left wif one now.

Anyway a few things has happened over the wkend, some gd and some not so gd...

The gd, bought some new fishes and inverts.

Sunburst, Dispar anthias & red ruby dragonet from AC

The male and the bigger size pink colored female of dispar anthias seem to paired themselves up leaving the orange smaller female alone at the other end of the tank.

Got this nassarius snails which r huge compared to the ones I used to keep, abt 1" in length. I think they r the Super Tongan ones.

Maxima from AC too.

Now the bad news, bought the red dragonet on fri, died the next morning. Found it stuck in between ventilation gap of my mp40 wet side. Sian!!

If u noticed from above nassarius snails pic, the lobo also hv a rotting mouth problem, beyond cure I guess.

More bad news, sun morning, my showpiece blue tip loripes (bigger than palm size) stn, beyond cure, frag out a portion of it, shall see if it can be save.

That's all for now. Here a pic of my refugium to end my update for today.

Small tiny coco worm growing from my liverocks.

Have you found out what cause the stn?

I'm not too sure, bro. This loripes has been with me for more than a yr plus. Quite hardy piece, but perhaps the sudden introduction of so many fishes cause a too sudden spike in nutrients levels. But then it's been very hardy pc in my tank, no other corals was affected though. The skin was like torn away from the skeleton structure juz like that overnite. And I hv not been dosing anything unusual or in fact nothing this wk other than calcium, carbonate & magnesium. So I dun really know, can only guess and wonder.

[Admiraltian]

Added some new zoas,

Candy apple pink, Kona gold & Spiderman.

My loripes suddenly stn which I suspected was due to my led light blasting. Those frags that I frag out to try salvage, those I continue to place in the middle will still get the full blast of my led all up lorry. Whereas those I place on my frag tray at the lhs of my tank still doing ok. I think its oredi at its limit of getting strong lighting on it. Checking on my paras, only my calcium went up too high at ard 525ppm. Time to re-adjust my radion intensity again.

[james72]

Your calcium is high, does your kH go low?

Usually the one with skin have this issue. When KH Went up or down more then 1 in very short period of time to whatever reason stn occur. I have the same thing happen last month. Lost many sps

[hanafi_weeseng]

Mmm, I think u are right bro. Lost around 8 sps frags when my kh drop to 5+ last December, now using dosing pump instead.

[james72]

If too high also no good,, my milli tips burn at 11dkH.

[ASHWIN]

I Agree..My Radioactive BN'S Gets Burn Tip When Max at 11Dkh..I Keep Mine at 7.7Dkh..

if your calcium is that high..your Kh Might be low?

sorry for your loss bro

[james72]

Time to frag....

[Admiraltian]

Thanks everyone for your concerns and advises. My KH stable around 8dkh. Realised my calcium rise up due to changing to recipe 1 from recipe 2 of Randy's 2parts. Already reduced my calcium dosing but still not fast enough to bring it down but I hv to gradually reduce amount of dosing daily. Shot up within a wk but when I check my KH it's still within my target range of 7-8dkh. So I canceling the possibility of KH swing, I did ramp up my led intensity in recent wks so might be lightings.

[sherman]

How much you ramp up your light? Remember you are using LED. Too long time increase or intensity increase can have drastic effect on your LS.

Bro Sherman, the photo period remained the same I only gradually increased 5% after every few wks. It's only hit 80% think less than 1wk, the loripes stn. My gb digi also hv some burn marks but not at the tips but all over its body. Maybe pests, but then I can't find any?? Color of my trachy also fading a little, signs of bleaching?? I still monitoring closely. Reduced my intensity by 5%.

[ASHWIN]

My Bet its The Light.

What light are you using?

If you say you can see burn marks..might be bleaching Cause of lighting stress..

Your no3 bro?

Can Your Light increase by 1%? That Will be better to acclimate them.1% every 3-4 days until desired Intensity..I Doubt Its Pest..beacause your trachy also fading..And What Is Pest Got to do with fading..

Hope Your Solve it soon bro

Cheers!

Morning!

Happy Reefing!

[sherman]

Your 80% light on for how many hour a day. If it is burning you can reduce the time by 10%
