If coral are doing well, anything will do well as long as it's added a little at a time as needed.]]> Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:19:44 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55800&PID=462924&title=well-it-happened-to-me#462924 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55800&PID=462919&title=well-it-happened-to-me#462919 Author: Cody

Yeah I'm keeping an eye on things as long as I'm home. I think I'm only going to do the 24/7 lighting like mark suggested until I see some algae growth and then cut back. It's stock PC lights so I'm not worried.]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:28:50 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55800&PID=462160&title=well-it-happened-to-me#462160 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55800&PID=462156&title=well-it-happened-to-me#462156 Author: tfmreefs

Be a little bit careful about 24/7 lighting... depending on the intensity you for sure can get into a bleaching issue.... if your running lights to promote algae I would consider a cheato ball with a compact fluorescent bulb 24/7 and run main lighting on a more normal schedule.  Corals are typically ok for a bit, but if your running high intensity lights the length of time they will "like" this is less than say with PC or minimal T5 lighting.  I know that, for instance, with my new LED set up, light cycle matters as I can see some LPS start to bleach if I run them too long at a given intensity.  I also am still kinda sorta (more or less done) in the acclimation period, so I cannot speak to tanks that are well acclimated to high intensity lighting and going to a 24/7 schedule.... just watch.

I will read up on that link for sure. I have taken out the Kents and have gone back to Chemipure. I woke up this morning and to my surprise one of my acans is starting to come out. I have been keeping the lights on 24/7 like suggested. There's hope yet and I will deff take you up on that offer about some frags once things stabilize again. Thank you. ]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:25:03 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55800&PID=462122&title=well-it-happened-to-me#462122 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55800&PID=462045&title=well-it-happened-to-me#462045 Author: kellerexpress

Man that is terrible. Just a thought.......when you mentioned Kents carbon i had some red flags go off in my head. It could have been the the Kent's carbon you used, they recalled some batches a couple months ago due to some of the batches containing high levels of heavy metals. You can read about it here.

I would dump the carbon and do a very large water change if you suspect this might be the case. Sorry for the loss. If you ever get down to Spanish Fork I would be willing to donate a couple frags to help get your tank going again.
