My frogspawn is starting to receed in some places and I don't understand why. Thy parameters are fine I did have a slightly elevated ammonia level I think because of a keyna frag that floated away and I couldn't find it any where that probably died and caused the slight spike. I did 2 good size h20 changes and everything is back to normal but the frogspan still doesn't look great. I use to spot feed them but the did all right without me doing that so I stoped but I started again. Any sugesstions I can get more into the specifics with some questions but don't want to make this too long. Thanks for the input. Mike

What is your salinity and what do you use to check your salinity, a Refractometer or a Hydrometer.

I had some issues with frogspawn's/hammers receeding
along with any other coral in the tank crashing.
I tore the tank apart and found a gorrila crab.
I reassembled it, added some more flow, and everything took off.
long story short, it could be a lot of different things.
I would start changing little stuff untill you find out what the problem is.
I would start with moving it to a different part of the tank.
I found mine do the best in slightly shaded area's with mild flow

dude if you just had a coral float away and die and release all kinds of foul chemicals you need a huge water change, run polyfilters
this would absolutely explain it
also make sure current going around the frogspawn, not into it

I just did my 3rd water change (40 gallon) in 3 weeks. Everything else in the tank except for the zoos look ok. Test are normal except for a tiny elevation in amonia but haven't tested yet after the 3rd water change which I just did. THe pulsing xynthia(sp) which haven't spread in the last 2 months they have accutally withdrawn. THe ones in the fuge are doing ok. I have great growth in the torch coral, clove polops,other polops, mushrooms, and anenome is now 5 instead of 1 2 years ago, Toodstool leather looks great too. Any sugesstions? Thanks
One other note that I read back it the privious posts that I did add a 250k metal halide bulb about 5 months ago to the middle of the tank where the frogspan is that had a 90 watt compact that I had replace but it seemed to have made the ajustment. I also replace the outlining bulbs shortly after that with xm 15k bulbs could this be a problem? I don't see how it can if most of the tank is doing fine?
