any news on the tank or the clams coral status please
The tank seems to be doing better. Every single piece of pulsing Xenia that was in the tank is non existant any more... unfortunately. A very "blah" coral... but actually one of my favorite.
On the other hand... my 2 green start polyp frags finally opened up 100% after not opening for about a week, along with the neon green nepthea and some zoanthids. Some zoanthids are closed or partially opened.
My tridacna clam has been absolutely fine during this whole tank problem.. not one sign of stress. If anything it may have extended its mantle even more.
My maxima (I know they're both technically tridacna, just don't know the name for the above clam), hasn't been totally opening... but I think its due more to the 6 aiptaisa/mojanos on its' shell.
I successfully killed one with a tweezer... but the others haven't been able to catch. Need to get a syringe and fry those suckers... just a tiny bit scared because I don't wanna kill the clam or harm anything else in the tank.
Dr. Harry's beautiful Green Slimer... is not really that beautfiul at the moment.
I think that the combo of intense LED lighting along with an alk swing from 7 --> 11dKH caused it to get all pale brown.
The polyps are still flourscent green. But I think that in the past few days its started to slowly color up again... I can't wait till it does.. it was actually one of my favorite pieces.. the color was unreal.. so I really hope to get it back.
All the monti caps are dead... just bare skeleton. But everything else seems to be doing just fine... really need to get some test kits... i never really used to test with the old tank, because doing water changes was enough... but even now... I have about 3 frags of SPS.. so I doubt those 3 will suck up that much alk/cal. But we'll see. I have my 3 DIY Cal/Alk/Mag supplements ready.. just needa save up for a test kit. I'll post pic in a day or two...
Alright back to studying for my finals...
