    Bta ?

    This is the only pic I have, one that he emailed me. He is breaking down his entire system. Pics looked like BTA to me, though I could be wrong on that.

    Sick Anenome

    If you dont have a lot of algae growth in your tank, then most likely not a phosphate problem with the anem. Ammonia on the other hand is toxic. You may want to consider mixing some water for a large water change. I would figure things out with the anem before looking at changing your...

    Leathers

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of light are you running, and is it possible something in the tank could be injuring it, others corals, anenomes, ect??

    Sick Anenome

    Did you check for ammonia when you tested? 5 gallon once a month is a minimal water change. I personally would do 5 gallons once a week. Sorry not to be able to give any definitive answers, sometimes you just dont know why these things happen. You asked about the substrate. On personal...

    Last several fish died

    Time will tell. I will be adding in a large rock with multiple bubbletip anenomes and two clown fish a week and a half. I'm hoping they do ok. In the mean time I will keep changing out the water to the ammonia. Wish I could see his body. Hate when they die in areas you cannot get to! Its...

    There is this rock I will be purchasing locally in a week and a half. It looks very big. Going to need to do some rearranging! Has 4-5 bubble tip aninomes on it and mushrooms and not sure if anything else. I'm also taking his two false perc clowns with it. He is breaking down his tank. I...

    Is this a good sign in my fight against cyno

    Main question is are you using ro/di water?With all the things you are doing between water changes, manually removing the cyano and looking at the cause for it. Is it from your water you are using, is it from excess feeding, ect. You can also try reducing your light schedule. Goodluck!

    Sick Anenome

    You should post your specific water parameters. Nitrate, Nitrite, PH, ammonia, SG, temp, ect. Test strips are not known for their accuracy. How often do you do water changes and how much? I see you have CC for a substrate, do you vaccuum this when you do changes? I had CC when I started...

    Bta ?

    The rock has 4 to 5 separate anenomes on it. They look to be about 2-3 inches each and in good health. My lights are 65 watts per bulb (x6). Watts per gallon seems to be appropriate especially being they would be higher in the tank. Rock is huge and tall, so there is no other way for it to...

    Last several fish died

    Thanks for the response, it is baffling. I feel like this is what happens whenever I end up having to replace fish (this is only the second major time, but feels alot worse!) I rechecked water params tonight, got my new test kits. Trace of ammonia today, prob from the missing clown in there...

Also would include the 2 clown fish (looks like false percs. My system is a 75 gallon with an abundance of live rock ( I may have to see some off in order to...
