I will get some pictures so I have some before and after as well. I hated to, but I did toss out my torch coral as it was releasing some stringy white and brown stuff so I figure it was pretty much gone. It had grown from 2 stalks to about 15 or more and was getting quite large. Besides the...

Ok, carbon has been in for 3 days now and the sump is no longer foaming. I put the new pump in the display temporarily to stir up the sand and help get rid of the algae. That pump moves ALOT of water, and this has worked well as alot of things got stirred up. It clogged my filter media twice...

It's all good, my kids love to look at seahorses too and have ask my why I didn't have any. ;-) I like to look at my tank late into the night, so I have my lights come on around noon and then shut down about midnight. The first clown died in the middle of the night right after the water change...

After doing more reading, i am wondering if one of my anemones died causing my mass loss. As of now, 2 of the 3 anemones are gone, and the third is very small but looks ok, other than not being open except for a tiny bit. Probably as it was dying, it released toxins causing more problems. The...

No, i am not running any carbon, maybe I should add some. I did take the largest anemone out last night as I believe it did die. The two smaller ones still appear alive, just not open very much. I also did another 10 gallon water change and cleaned the sump more. Funny thing is, my coral...

Defnitely no dead fish, they are all already gone. It could be an anemone. They all still have their color, but they are definitely closed up. I did another 10 gallon water change last night and cleaned some more algae out. The foam calmed down quite a bit so maybe it helped. I plan to do...

You may be right. Algae was definitely in bloom, and with the pump down it made it worse. That morning I did move my HOB filter from my QT over to the main to provide some circulation until I could get home from work. It probably helped, but was too little, too late. I have a pretty good...

I a 75 gallon with a 20 gallon sump, skimmer, ~75lbs live rock, some coral, and 5 fish. All has been running fine for 3 years, and the last two without any changes in fish or corals. Everything has been very healthy. Torch coral growing huge, Anemone split twice and is now 3. Coral banded...
