Ok my corals were doing great
they were growing fast.
they were coloring up and looking stong till 3 weeks ago.
they started looking sickly colorless and very poor polyp extension.
I couldnt figure out what was going on.
I started feeding less ut thats hard to do when you feed very little anyway.
I did bigger water changes 20% instead of 10%
nothing helped and i didnt see any predators.
I even started to get cyano. I always had a little but not this much
well yeturday at about 9pm i looked in my sump and decided that i hadnt shaken my cheato in a while it was looking grayish.
It is about the size of a big FOOTBALL well even bigger and it grows like crazy big chunks of it i cut every 2 weeks.
anyway i shook the cheato and it litterally decintegraded in my hands. It had died the entire freakin clump. and it was decaying.
For the life of me i cant think of a reason why it did that.
well I took it out.(as much as i can) and already this morning I have alot less cyano. I mean alot less.
I think im done with cheato. I know its benefts are in debate by some reefers.
hey I gotta question. my sump is lit buy a shop light with a grow bulb on a reverse cycle. I know this helps reduce ph drop at night. but do I still need a grow bulb spotlight. or can any kind of light source serve this purpose?
