As some of you know, I was having problems with the tank, and I figured I would give you an update on how things are going. I changed the RO/DI filters and have done two water changes in two weeks and replaced all of my reserve RO/DI water, and the tank is starting to come around. Some of my polyp frags are starting to open again, the cheap ones
One of favorite ones is still closed, but the polyps are still there, so I have faith
But my other Favorite ones are half way open and thats a good sign. My two Toad Stools, now thats a different story, they really took a hit thru all of this. One of my Toad Stools was really nice and looked like he took a Viagra pill each day, a really nice specimen . At the worst, he collasped and fell over on his side and shriveled up to about 1/3 or less from his full glory. He is still laying on his side but he is trying to put out his hairy top or what ever they are called. The wife told me she saw him trying to stand up the other day but I havn't seen that yet. The bad thing about all of this: The wife told me three months ago to change out my RO/DI filters but I figured I would try and get a few more months out of them to try and save a few $$$. The bad thing about that is: I already had an extra set of filters that I bought, when I bought the RO/DI unit. I think there is a lesson to be learned here, Change your filters. Anyway, I think the tank is on the way back, I did lose a few polyps and one Devils Hand soft coral, and the jurys still out on the Toad Stools, I also lost most of my cleaning crew and they will have to be replaced. The little crabs are doing just fine, didn't lose any of them, but I did lose almost all of my snails.
