It resembles a Rhodactis sp. commonly called a Giant Green Frilly Mushroom. I see multiple mouths though. Is there a hard skeleton under it?

So sorry for your loss Flower :(

No, I was not implying your tank crashed because of Nitrate or Phosphate.

A lot of sea slugs can be kept successfully. The Lettuce Slugs are a good example. Unfortunately, most of the really colorful ones are Nudibranch and require a specialized diet. There are a few exceptions but most of these cannot be kept long term successfully.

The Jawfish is cute. It looks right at home.

Spanko is a prime example of looking at results to see who to take advice from. Clearly this tank has been thriving.

That sounds right so it's not your mixing method. I asked because I've caught a lot of people doing it wrong resulting in poor saltwater. Epsom salt can raise Mg a little but I wouldn't rely on it to raise you Mg as much as you need. I'd suggest a different salt or Magnesium chloride...

Before you do your water change, can you give me the exact details of how you mix your new saltwater? Your nitrates are not at a dangerous level at this time.

Why would you be spinning your wheels with a water change?

Ummmm Turbo Snails are broadcast spawners.

The low Magnesium level is consistent with a precipitation event. The reaction of the event can actually pull Magnesium out of the water column. However; it could also be that the Magnesium was low to begin with and that triggered the event. It's possible the airstone was the final trigger...

Can you describe what you want your system to look like? Do you want corals? Invertebrates? Just fish?

So when you say undetectable you're referring to the reef tank you had that crashed a few years ago.

But Beaslbob, you did report mass dying of your corals on a few occasions about one a year. Perhaps the term "crash" has different interpretations.

So her 60 gallon saltwater is showing undetectable Nitrate?

Do you have a new reef set up Beaslbob?

No, military members on base are not allowed to be armed other than base security. But this didn't happen on a base. It was in a recruitment office in a strip mall.

South Carolina removed the Confederate Battle Flag from their Capital to prevent insane bigots from rampaging in their churches. Maybe if we ban Christmas trees from government property we can prevent insane jihadists from shooting up Marine recruitment centers.

Very nice!
