You need some lettuce nudis and a lawnmower blennie

I'm wondering the same thing.

I have a blennie, but the algae isn't what he likes i guess. no GHA.

I think it may have been the way it flooded a lot of water was splashing and spraying and it could have caused the water to evap increasing the SG.

Welp... a long over due update i think is needed.

Looks like my corals are doing better. I am having an issue with, what i'm calling, AEFW. Thankfully I only have 3corals in my tank that are acros, but I still don't want to lose any of them!

Here are the things doing well in the tank
Lawnmower blenny... that's green?

Frag

That's all i have now. I'm going to try to get these Acro-eating flatworms out of the tank. Some one from my club suggested using Revive and said it may not be, but here's a pic i have. I trust the guy, but I guess my pic just isn't that great. Working without a tripod here, sorry.

Acropora eating flatworms leave oval shaped bite marks. You may have red bugs, which are yellow bugs with a red dot at one end.

AEFW bites:

Thanks marc, but looking at the actual coral, they don't look anything like redbugs. They are on the 3 corals that are acropora and are dying and are really hard to see. When the lights come on today, i'll try to get a better pic.

I have put 3 new fish into my tank.

A clown goby and 2 Firefish... the royal gramma that i had in the tank has been attacking the fish. Thankfully the clown goby can hide in the birdsnest i have, but the fire fish aren't as blessed. Yesterday i was awakened with a start... my royal gramma had taken a chunk out of one of my firefish and had already started on my other. The little guy's tail was ripped off. It was hard to get a pic, but i did get one. I'll post it tomorrow or on wed, but for now i'll be going to bed. The royal gramma was taken out of the tank (with several pains and an hour or so. Oh and i damaged my birdsnest) and has been sold to pet village in Duncanville for someone else to have a go with it. They are aware of it's aggression. I pray someone else doesn't have the same issues i have.
