You got any pics of your tank?  I have a fluval as well.  Love it!]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:33:14 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61602&PID=502374&title=mini-carpet-spewing-chunks#502374 <![CDATA[mini carpet spewing chunks... : They will also release zooxanthallae...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61602&PID=502357&title=mini-carpet-spewing-chunks#502357 Author: ReefdUp

They will also release zooxanthallae under stress, and that's brown too. As long as it doesn't have any loss of color or the other signs mentioned above, then it is probably ok.]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2013 10:47:45 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61602&PID=502357&title=mini-carpet-spewing-chunks#502357 <![CDATA[mini carpet spewing chunks... : Ya it&#039;s brown, not white....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61602&PID=502352&title=mini-carpet-spewing-chunks#502352 Author: napalm77

Ya it's brown, not white. We ordered it from liveaquaria.com and when it got to us, it was cold. I acclimated it for a while to get the temp down and it seemed fine. I fed the tank cyclopods last night and everything ate. I will do a mini water change on it. I have carbon and phosphate pads in the little media basket in the back (its a fluval edge btw) so no skimmer on it. We did order some chemi pure elite a few days ago and plan on throwing a tiny bag in it as well. Thanks for your input guys! Its nice to know its just poo and not death lol

probably just pooping. What are you doing with filtration? if you have a skimmer, it should pull most of it out. if not you might want to do a water change and just watch it. if they are dying they will release their guts through their mouth and will be stringy whitish in color. ]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2013 10:03:43 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61602&PID=502351&title=mini-carpet-spewing-chunks#502351 <![CDATA[mini carpet spewing chunks... : I have large carpets do the...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61602&PID=502349&title=mini-carpet-spewing-chunks#502349 Author: builderofdreams

I have large carpets do the same thing.
Have you fed or do you know if it has been fed by the LFS. Brown is usually Poopin.
I would not worry to much as long as its not Spewing white and its mouth is not locked open.
Oh i would change a bit of water.

So we just set up a 6 gallon pico, I ordered a mini carpet, acclimated it and it seemed to be doing fine all morning. I went to work, came home and it was all the way open and had found a nice little crack to stick to.

This morning I checked on it and everything was fine. I turned on the light, still looking good. I walked away and came back a couple minutes later and the tank is foggy and the nem is discharging mass amounts of brown crap.

I thought it had instantly melted, but its still alive with perfect shape and color....

What the heck?!

I have a Christmas tree worm rock, a mushroom, 4 sexy shrimp and 2 clown gobies... Did I just kill everything?

What do I do?

THANKS
