yes, weren't is what i meant to say melev
now pull out the fish would defeat the purpose, just like pulling out all the acros, it would be near impossible.
ok well update time.
came in tonight and nothing has rtn'd on me. the chromis' are out playing as usual but are still alive and dont look stressed.
I think there must still be a lot of meds in the water though, as i cant see how a 100g water change would rid the tank of all meds. the carbon i had used last night prolly abosorbed all that it could and is exhausted, so i changed it out with about 3lbs (dry) of fresh carbon.
All corals today look ok, not 100% PE but still look good, colors are better than ever on most everything. the skin in between the coralites does look a little lighter than usual, but that may just be an ollusion since PE is 100% and lights are on so it is a little washed out looking.
The zoas and clove polyps are still angry, about 75% of the zoas are closed up, look kinda how they would after a iodine dip on them. hopefully they will pull through too.
The big tangs all look good as does the clam.
I dont havea amonia test kit but nitrites tested at zero, nitrates drop about 25ppm from last weeks testing, now down under 25ppm
I also think that the large fresh batch of phoslock is al a contributing factor to the look on everything, this and the large amounts of carbon being used might be shocking the corals and fish. Before i changed out the phos media the hair algea in the prop tank was growing like mad, as of current it is all but died back and white looking.
ok well enough jibberish from me. it gets very easy to ramble on since this is something totally new to me and a lots of other.
On the better side though, i wouldnt call this a nightmare either.
