    1) My sump tank for some reason contineous being low on water. at first I was able to put water in once every two weeks but within the last week or so I am putting water in at least every three days now. pics enclosed of sump tank.

    2) I have star poloy that was shining beautiful but now they wont even come out. I thought it was of my water temperture which was below 70 degrees but I did get corrected one week ago and now it at 80 degrees.
    the water was check at oceans and seas but I dont know wat else to do. but my others corals are doing well esp my anomia.

    3) I got some orangish color flower looking items growing in my tank and was wondering at it is... pic enlosed
