Looking nice, should be a cool tank when it matures

Just one of those days where everything looks wonderful! Look at that Favia eat~Every zoa open! Man oh man salt water is amazing!!!

[MizTanks]

Not sure what happened but while doing a wc and picking off algae~I inadvertently lost a shroom~and another isn't looking so good~like it may be melting~I kept it submerged in the tank water I had removed while picking~maybe it being so young had something to do with it.

Give it time, it may open back up, most shrooms I have seen are pretty though IME!

Thanks jojo and thanks for reading this thread~means a lot knowing I'm not just talking to myself~questions for ya~at the moment I'm not using any kind of filtration aside form the LR in the tank~do I need to be using some sort of filter floss or fiber to help remove the larger particles? I do have a small piece in the pump housing to keep debris from getting into the pump~changing it with every WC.

like jojo says shrooms are pretty tough..was the temp of the water you put back into the tank close to the same temp of the tank..i have seen my shrooms do that if i forgot to keep the water close to tank temp..they always come back though..

Temp was the same~I'm thinking I may have messed with em while picking the algae off ~little hands all thumbs.

they will open back up..something happened to upset them ..once they are over that they will open back up

It's so funny~but all's I gotta do is look at lil Miz Kenya tree and I know it's time fer a WC~she was all bowed over like she had the weight of the ocean on her shoulders~not 15min after the WC~taaaaadaaaa looking like the statue of liberty~did a bunch of algae picking and it really seems to be helping~I mean it's still there but hasn't seemed to spread and is growing less.

Did have me a little fright~got up to see what I thought was a dead BLH~nope he just molted!!!
Since I've stopped feeding frozen so much my peppermint shrimp is running all over the tank looking for little morsels of food~she isn't happy!! Nor has my PJ cardinal taken to any of the new food. Still wont eat nothing but the frozen I give 1x a week.

I still haven't caught my Xanthidae crab~at least I think that's what it is~I was watching him around one of my Green Implosion polyps~he appeared to be picking something off the surface of the stem but was not pinching the stem it's self per say~still I'd feel a little better if he wasn't in there even though he doesn't seem to be bothering anything.

My tank looks wonderful~is doing wonderful~all parameters are wonderful~woot woot!!

Update: Did WC with new water source~parameters are as follows~cal=420~kh=10~sg=1.025~ph=8.2
