i dose about 8 months for vodkha onli, starting before the tank move. stopped dosing about 2 months ago.

for me, the green algae gone down a huge amount after stopping vodkha. the color actually gain a bit to more intense coloring instead of pale coloring. not brown though.

one finding also, if i switch the 20k lighting to 10k lighting, suddenly all the blue, purple and red color pop up really crazy upon the change. I am thinking going to 10k.

i am not happy with my PE on the sunset monti. from the origin tank, they opened like fat flower petal. after 2 weeks in my tank, they shrink to small PE. not sure where went wrong, except the origin tank salinity at 1.023 and mine 1.025. may be i should consider bring the salinity down

sad news... i just experience a tank crash, not sure how bad it is yet. I turn off all pumps and chiller for maintenance at 6pm, forget to turn the chiller back on. the temperature raise to 34C this morning at 630AM. heart was chilled when i see the tank in white colored water.

as far as i can tell, most of the colony still have colors and slight polyp extension. one huge table colony hang on the wall turn totally white :(

i hope the tank make it through...sigh...i have just killed my tank

sorry to hear that.

all the best.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

That is indeed good news ! Will be a big lost to the reefing community if you had not been able to save them. You have one of the best collections of SPS here. Therefore it makes sense to share some of your frags. That way you can always buy back what you have lost.

hope all goes well. If your sps are healthy, I think hardier species should be able to make it.

btw, did you change some water?

hope you dont mind, I want to learn from your experience. :paiseh:

months ago, I also nearly kill my sps by over dose Alk. at that time KH is more then 20.

I change almost 80% water and KH still 15. some sps rtn after the incident....

thanks guys

all i did was change 2 pail of water, put 7 bags of carbon, o3 to max 200mg, skimmer to wet skimming

most of the sps have polyp extension, but 2 colony still experiencing problem, one with STN. hopefully they can make it.

Bro, am shocked to learn about your tank incident ! I understand your feeling becuase similar issue happened to me about 2 years back, temperature was 38 degree and all sps up lorry, nothing left.

Dont be disheartened. Learn from this episode, I suggest you relook into your setup design and install some temperature safty measures to ensure your tank temperature will not shoot above 30 degree. Those frags you have gotten from me, any loss ? Let me know if you needed help.

Take care !

Treat others the way you wanna be treated...

Bro, how's the sps condition coming along, recovered and good ? Do let me know if you needed some specimen to get starting again, foc.

hi all

good news, most of the sps survived and bounced back even better. all frags survived, including those i got from cedric :)

i lost the limegreen blue tip show piece, and a fiji table. luckily the frags survived. suprisingly all the sps grow even faster after the crash, which i suspect my water was suffering too low nutrien level. i am now trying to feed more to the tank and make the water a bit more dirty :)

pictures coming soon...
