Hello all,
I have a or shall I say had a LTA that had been in my tank for almost a year and a half. He was host to a very large Clarki. Tonight I checked the tank at 9[m and all was well. I sat down to watch TV and at 9:15 on the dot (thats when my halides go out) I glanced over and saw a "snow storm". A quick glance to;d me my LTA (which has been in the same spot for a year) let loose and got caught in my Koralia 4 power head. It blended all but 1/3rd of the anemones body. The anemone when fully expanded had a disc diameter of 10 inches. My 75 headed branching duncan closed up tight. My pogoda cup coral and frog spawn were sliming like crazy. The remaing 40 corals showed no symptoms. I immedeatley shut everything down and over the course of the next 45 minutes siphoned out 30 gallons of water and replaced with premade water. 30 gallons is all I had. I have a dual reactor from BRS. I removed both the carbon and GFO and filled both canisters to the top with fresh premium BRS carbon. II siphoned out every small piece of th NEM I could see.......
Anyone have any idea what I am going to wake up to in the morning???? Should I do anything else???
Tank description in sig......
I tested nitrate, trite, amonia and all were 0. (post 30 gallon WC)
I tested DKH 9.1, mag 1300, calc 470, P04 0 (these readings are 5 fays old)
