I'm understanding what everyone told me about the first year being a little rough.
I have JUST finished fighting off some jelly algae, and now I have some questions about my declining corals. I originally thought that they were in trouble because of the algae, but I need to know if I have a new threat I need to fight.
My water parameters are normal as far as I can tell. Still doing changes roughly once a week.
First:
Before:
After:
I thought that was the coral growing, but they haven't turned into polyps, and now I'm concerned. It's spreading all over the rock it's on. What's up?
Second:
Before:
After:
Pretty sure this is from the algae. Is there a safe way to remove this stuff? Can it turn around?
Third:
Before:
After:
This guy is pretty much done for. I'm just wondering if it was from the algae break out or if I've done something else wrong.
I'm planning to replace/restock some of this stuff, but I wanted to get your opinion on things before I go spend some money on livestock that won't make it. :)
Thanks!
James
