fallout from the transfer

fallout from the transfer

it takes some time to see the results of a sensitive livestock transfer.

Two of my pod eating fish bit the dust: Mandarinfish and Copperband.
I had increased all feedings because I was aware of the loss of micro life that had occured during and after the livestock transfer but the feedings must not have been enough- and besides, the CBB never ate any prepared foods.
(Perhaps I should have retained more of my old sandbed?)
I believe all of my Acro species survived the transfer but some lost color because they were stressed. Certain colonies were outright killed by my gigantea anemone but I have several frags of each species scattered about my aquarium so everything is good.

edit: I probably should have mentioned (for my own sake!) that I started running a 3rd 400w Ushio 14k on a Lumatek ballast last week.

You've got a lot of talent Gary.

Pretty amazing that you could maintain the CBB without it accepting prepared foods.Hope all else continues well for you.

Oh my. What a project. I have procrastinated on replacing one of my displays, an 8 year old 90 g for years( some scratches) because I dread it. Juniors aquarium looks great. Love the name. Very nice work. Glad the livestock is holding it's own after the good hands of typhoon Gary.

bah- new lighting has now caused damage in my green Acro table despite my preventitive measures. Fry baby fry. As long as a little piece survives it'll recover.

 

[dreaminmel]

How's the green table doing? If you end up needing a piece back just let me know.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

thanks for the offer

has your frag grown at all, Mel?

my green table has around 90% tissue loss. Interestingly enough (to me, anyways) the green thick finger (humilis complex) Acropora sitting right next to the green table has experienced no tissue loss. The table is probably a deep(er) water species. Tissue necrosis has seemed to stop spreading. I have great hopes/expectations it will recover as long as some portion of it survives.

 

[dreaminmel]

No growth on the man sized frag yet but just got it glued down finally after multiple bulldozings by a turbo. It's still happy and colorful, just no growth tips at the moment.

It sure is amazing what they can come back from and provided the die off has stopped, I have no doubts your tank will help it thrive again. :thumbsup:

I know it goes without saying but I'd love to see another pic or two of things when you get a free moment.
