Makes me sad to see what happened to your corals. I had a crash happen twice in a year . was very defeating but I couldn't let it beat me out of the hobby . Hope it all comes around for you and everything starts thriving again.
Yea it's nearly a total loss. The fish are all doing fine, but right now it's basically just algae and dinos. Getting that under control and rebuilding..
Great video as usual. Really sorry about your corals. It would be really interesting to hear your thoughts on why/what happened, and your process to get back in shape. Thanks!
Thanks! I did a few videos on it - short version is a pump burned up in my sump, leading the copper and other metal contamination. Then the die off triggered algae, which increased the die off by irritating coral it grew on, and then dinos started. It's slowly recovering, and I hope to start adding frags again in a few more weeks.
I just made two frags the other day for the first time. One was a ORA ponape birds nest coral and the other was a branching hyndophora. Think I put to much glue at the base of hydnophora and I think it’s kind of stressed because I covered quite a bit of flesh on the bottom, which will probably die and have to regrow on top of the glue. I’ll have to make sure I have some epoxy handy next time. Very interesting video! Thanks for posting!
