Can anyone help me with what the blastos are telling me? I have had one DBTC for months and it is dieing from the outer edge. ( I was just telling Sherri how much it has grown) A second was a casualty after my recent trip. I thought it isolated until this next one started showing its skeletal 'teeth' on three side polyps and now the edge of one of the center.
They were eating OK up until now, but not great. The red is not puffed out as usual, and I did not get to see how the first one looked as it was mostly skeleton when I returned home.
The tank was very stable after the trip with the alk jumping to 13.6 and the calcium dropping to 390. last night they were 11.6 and 440. the MG right around 1290. sg 1.023 and temp 76. I lowered the heater setting about three weeks ago it was at 78 but would go over 80 during the day. I do more than 10% water change weekly, and dose Alk, Ca, and Mg by hand each day.
Also on the last day of the trip the fire shrimp died. Cleaner shrimp is normal. I did not run carbon after the green out from the caulerpa meltdown. Could this be a hold over from that event four weeks ago?
Ideas of anything I could do to prevent this one going, or others joining?
