I have about $400 worth of coral in there! HA
Its a toadstool on the left. In the first pic you can see him opened up but lately he has been hiding.
I dropped my lighting down about a total of 5 hours between the two
even with corals, 2 days without light will be fine.
(your water is cloudy, and I didn't look all that close)
It isn't a sand issue at this point.

This is a hug going out to you. I know you need one after all you have been through.
I have been watching your situation and crying with you. I'm glad to see things starting to clear up.
I was going to get on to sfoister for being mean, but thought better of it. You handled yourself pretty well. Good for you.

For the record I have read everything, including your other threads.

No Picture Again

 

[lil.guppy]

spanko I LOVE that picture!
Well here is the tank this morning. I had the lights off all day yesterday but Im keeping them on for about 5 hours today. Im leaving today so I have to put them back on their timers.
I will post an update next week!
Thanks ya'll

Hey have a good vacation...try not to think about the tank.

 

[spanko]

Looking much better. How long you gone for? You may just want to run your lights 5 hours per day until you get back depending on how long you will be gone.

Nope never have
I do heat the water up to the same temp as the tank though
you gotta let your salt mix actually mix for atleast 24 hrs. put a small powerhead and a heater in there. 48 hrs is even better.

Im baaaaaaaaaack and the tank is terrible

Turned the skimmer on, changed the filter and carbon, and I am keeping the lights off for two days straight!

 

[meowzer]

OMG....Did your "professional" quit.....WELCOME BACK...Hope the vacation was good anyway

 

[lil.guppy]

Ohhhhh the weather was amazing! Destin Florida is where I went....
Well I have NO IDEA what happened! The water was not that bad when I left. Im guessing its because my skimmer was turned off and I had to take my carbon out.
So should I just do what I listed or should I also do a 40% water change?

 

[meowzer]

Looks nice...Florida...not the tank..LOL
I think I would do a water change too...that's got a lot of algae floating in it
Fire your fish sitter..LOL

 

[lil.guppy]

Is it just me or does it look like he did something with my sand? The sand bed has been lowered on the right side...maybe he did a water change for me and dumped the water in too fast or something.
