Dreaded Brown Jelly Disease? Rainbow Hammer

[nuxx]

Hey everyone,

I've had this rainbow hammer for about 3 months now.

I noticed over the last 2-3 weeks it has been recessed a lot.

After 72 days of QT, I moved it over to the display hoping the added nutrients would perk it up.

This morning I noticed a little bit of brown stringy stuff along one of it's edges.

Do you guys think it's brown jelly and it's time to toss it?

Just stinks since it was such a nice piece

BTW: It's on the right / middle edge.




Thanks!

Revive and good flow usually cure brown jelly, but you still have to track down what's causing it. Usually low alkalinity or an alk/calcium/mag imbalance.

The hammer seems a bit happier now

Still not fully extended, but I'm running a bit of GFO to beat down some GHA. I've noticed the ZOAs and other LPS starting to open up as well.

Going to half the dose again this weekend as the GHA is dying off...
