Few Questions for EXPERIENCED enthusiasts (pics included)

I think thats what Godzilla grew out of a Euphyllias skeleton.

I think that's an urban legend. Besides, you couldn't have identified the skeleton without microscopic examination of the sclerites, and IMO a Trachyphyllia is a much more likely source for Godzilla!

:D

Thank you all for your help. I have done 3 major water changes and the nitrates have held steady for the last 2-3 days at less than 5ppm. It seems as if everything is doing well.

Just to clarify, the hammer was damaged when I had tried to move it and it broke from the base. Not from the nitrates.

To answer a couple of your questions, yes, I had changed all of the lighting when I purchased it. Also, as I stated earlier, I had the water tested prior to adding it back to the tank.

As I also stated earlier, I used the aiptasia x to eliminate all but maybe 1 or 2 aiptasia.

The lighting is standard in the biocubes and I have replaced both the 10k and actinic with new solarmaxPC bulbs (each is a 36watt fluorescent) plus 3 LEDs.

I don't think the hammer is going to make it at this point. I only see a couple of polyps left. I will have to chalk it up to clumsiness. Inthe future, I will try a spot for a few days first before using adhesive to place it. Lesson learned.

In the meantime, both fish, the trumpet, frogspawn, hairy mushroom and zoas appear to be doing very well. In fact, one of the zoa "auto-fragged" a small branch of 3 polyps. I placed them in a different area in the tank and they have been fully open since.

All other levels are now perfect.

Up until now, I have been feeding every other day since the nitrate spike. Should I go back to feeding daily again?
