20 gal sump / chaeto / DAS EX-2 skimmer
sump / powerheads approx 15-20 x turnover
Most of my reef is looking fine..... But my torch and frogspawn are no longer putting forth their polyps like they did when purchased and slightly thereafter..... They both have been in the tank over 6 months...... They are both located near the bottom of the tank..... There are no other corals within stinging range....... One head of the torch died off completely and was removed....... the polyps on the torch now extend barely 1/4 inch out of the skeleton........ They had been as long as 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches long ago........ The frogspawn is very similar...... About 2 months ago, (while away from home for 1 week) my tank was without power for 4-5 days, but the problem existed prior to this....... Most everything survived and has since recovered, except for these two corals....... Any suggestions / comments ????
