Why would we assume it accumulated and wasn’t just like that the whole time?

I don’t think you understand. Look into it and then ask if you have questions. I’m not smart enough to do the fancy links where you just click on it, but @derek_SR has a very detailed thread about it I bet you can find on here.

How did it “not work” for you. How did you use it?

I’d look into dosing lanthanum chloride into the skimmer to reduce phosphate. Nitrate isnt too terrible to me and should come down enough with water changes

No socks. No floss. Skim. Change water.

Does anyone know what this is or why it is doing what it is?

I would guess part of it was most of the aiptasia it could get to were consumed. These were not in my home tanks ever, but clients tanks. Usually I utilize autofeeders with pellets, and rely on the client to feed frozen. So sometimes it’s a bit of a mystery how much they are really eating that...

Amount, also quality and type of food probably. Likely also helps for them to have other things to pick at in the tank.

I have found they don’t eliminate aiptasia completely (not sure anything really will) I found they tend to leave little bits behind that regrow. Not sure if it’s on purpose to maintain food supply, or just part of the aiptasia magic act. Also, there are often little ones they can’t get to like...

Looks like cyano to me. Not bubble algae Have you tested nitrate/phosphate?

Make a tank journal if you don’t have one. Looks ok to me. What do you think is off? What have you been doing?

Nice to meet you. Let me know if anyone wants to borrow or have any of these

It wasn’t that big. Jumped out of the water and got me as I was getting food out of the foil package. Luckily just sliced me pretty good and didn’t lock on. I used super glue instead of paying for stitches.

Queen trigger got me once pretty good. Eel is the worst I’ve had

I like the juvenile so much more

“3 other fish I don’t know” Face palm

The one on the left too? Almost looks like some kind of lobophyllia to me. Weird growth form tho

I’m curious if I would want to start a tank up or be too intimidated if I saw this in person.

Black background looks way better!

Me neither. And I’m not trying to single him out as a terrible person. I’ve been through some things where it’s just about impossible to handle everything the way i would ideally like to. More of a reality of the way things are in real life than an ideal of how id like to see things work within...
