Very Nice Kenny. There is always something golden to look at.

Did you problems go from the inner branches, Was it a bleaching or a peeling?

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks Mark! Life is golden!

When the problem started with the Cali tort back in January, it was sliming and peeling. The last few months, it's just been bleaching. It doesn't start from the inside, just from the base up on all of them, as you can see in that last photo of the bleached coral. I am pretty sure it's not a flow issue since some of the dead colonies were out in the open getting plenty of flow.

Have you changed your RO filters?

 

[pookstreet]

No. Should I? The inline TDS readings are still 0 after the DI and single digit after the RO.


BTW, congrats! :celeb3:

Just wondering...


...Thanks! 3.5 more hours...

Kenny I never had any luck with the inline TDS meters. They always read 0. I've had better luck with the hand testing models.

Fonda, I understand your skepticism. However, the final water output better be 0 b/c it's going through 4 DI cartridges :rollface:

 

[Znut Reefer]

lol...I hear you Kenny. Sounds like that base is covered.

This came out as a pretty cool shot playing with the macro and the extension tube.

Great picture with great detail. I’ve always been hesitant to try Dendros, don’t know anything about’em. Do you have to spot feed them? Do they sting corals around them? Are they low light?

thats the sickness right there Kenny- =)

 

[spleen93]

Nice, Kenny! I would never have the patience to feed those ...

Thanks Dan! No, I don't spot feed them or for that matter, any other coral. They can sting but usually loses out to most LPS and does best under low lighting. Mine are on the sand. Beautiful corals with very intense coloration. I have 2 different varieties and like them both.

Thanks M! No patience needed. I just dump the food in the tank and it's a free for all. I could spend endless hours at the tank if I was spot feeding the corals. I could just hear my wife now......."You always disappear..........!"

Kenny, your pictures make them look so nice and if I don't have to spot feed them then hummm...maybe I'll put them on the list.
