Anything that is pure skeleton you can toss. The other ones might have a shot. Keep the diatoms off them and acclimate them back to the light. You can try fragging off the living parts but that could also stress and kill them.

Bleached as in skeleton or bleached as still with flesh and polyp extension?

What is your alk at now?

Go to deadspin.com they have the numbers and other commentary.

Considering the contract he just signed in Russia, I am not surprised he left.

I am not a plumbing guy so I will let someone chime in on that. Looking at your stock list as far as corals go, you might be able to get away without a ton of extra powerheads as you are not really looking at SPS. I don't know what your return pump pushes, but considering you don't have a ton...

People say the accepted range of alk is 7-12 but that is not 100% accurate. 8-9 is really the sweet spot unless you are running something differently, i.e. zeovit users generally run around 7. Low oxygen can lead to drops in PH, hence with the closed door it may have led to the drop.

Alk acts as a buffer and with Alk that high your PH should not drop. Did anything in the room change, like AC, open windows, etc?

Measure your phosphates. If you bring them down to quickly you can shock your corals. That is why you go with half and then increase it. You can test the tank and you can test the water coming out of the reactor as well to give you an idea of how much phosphates the reactor is pulling out.

+1 From Manasquan they are less than a half hour away and they are across the street from each other. Aqua Oceans is south in the other direction, which is a good store but from where you are and hitting two stores, I would go there.

From what I hear south jersey is pretty bare. Your best bet is to hit a store that is off the parkway that you have never been too

In your current system you are pretty much always going to battle ich due to stress. Queen angels get really big and are really nasty. The powder blue is more likely to come down with ich and having the queen in there is going to make the situation worse. Both of those fish need tanks 180g...

For SPS you want to stick with the MH.

I orderd one for lunch in Aruba but then I realized they were basically going to fry the entire fish and then I would have to pick it apart, I passed. Got some amazing other fish instead.

If you really want to kick ick, you may not like the best answer which is to setup a hospital tank, move all your fish there, and then leave your tank fallow (empty) for 8 or so weeks. With your fish in hosptial, you can run hypo salinity which will kill the ick. This will absotulely get rid...

First off welcome to the club. Second that really sucks, unfortunately you are not the first person I have heard of who have had their tank poisoned by someone. Third: Move out or wait to set the tank up later. If it has happened twice, it will happen a third time. Fourth: When you are...

From what I have read apparently Dr. Tim created Biospira and then went off on his own. I have used both, but for some reason prefer the Dr. Tims.

The bottled bacteria works and I would recommend it when setting up a tank.

For serious breeders these things are a dream come true.

I had the glass holes kit on my 45g and they really are excellent. I would highly recommend them, and I think redfishbluefish gets a nickel per referral as he has been trumpeting their greatness for years.
