Went to check on my children of the sea. Found a kinked discharge hose from a pump, which feeds filtered water to DT.
I lost 99% of specimens. Bummer

Oh man, that is heartbreaking.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Bummer, live and learn. I'm setting up new DT. where I live and it should be permanent there so be able to keep an eye on it.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Tomorrow start moving some equipment. Stand ready. Stay tune

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

LFS saved 1 dendronephthya colony and 2 stereonephthya colonies. Nice of them. Both from Tonga. Starting to open.

One day I'll have nice photos

This is stereonephthya colonies

Here's better sample, from Pacific Aqua Farms, Los Angeles

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Red Carnation coral, dendronephthya hemprichi sp, from Tonga, healthy specimen

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Both colonies doing great. Reduce feeding helps. All polyps open

the stereonephthya needs light to thrive

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

This came in today natural dry Rock this is not man-made dry Rock and will seed and cycle right away which is nice. 35 lbs of rock

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]
