What is your tank's current nemesis?

[Purpletank]

I recently discovered my ATO was contaminated with a bacterial fungi that was leaching into my tank. this deadly fungi clinged to my aquascape and all of my zoas and gsp. The fungi started to look like a white hair algea but would collect debris. I’m still recovering but my Zoe’s and gsp are on the up n up

Oh great! Something else that can go wrong! So we should be cleaning out our ATO tanks with vinegar now and then?

I have been doing this for years every 6mo vinegar wipe down.

Yes but more importantly keep a tight lid on your ATO!!

Cloudy water. I just got an RODI unit and thought tat it would help but it didn’t. I had brown cloudy water a few days ago. Got the unit and did an 80% change. Four das later the cloud is back. It’s not as brown but it’s getting there. Tank had been cycled and all params are good. I just don’t understand this issue. When I get up in the morning it’s almost clear. As the day goes on it’s gets cloudier and browner. Right now that, is my nemesis.

Do you run Carbon it does a good job when it comes to cleaning the water in a reactor is better than a bag.

Currently I don’t. I don’t have the funds for one right now. Do you think it would clear it up? I’m still building my sump ( need the plumbing parts) and thought that may help.

I works for me. Had my tank sitting for over a year was just tapping of water things in life took a big tune so did not have time for the tank. Just recently started back up water was very dirty to say the least but my reactor back online with ESV AC tank water is now clear as day.

Some of my zoas randomly melting away. The vast majority look healthy and growth is great. But it seems to change between a couple heads of each colony melting away at times. Can find any pests but thinking it may be zoas pox. Unfortunately they’ve encrusted all over the structure so I can’t really remove any to dose furan 2. Been a struggle but keeping at it

My breeding chromis. Lays eggs twice a week and is a terror to anyone that comes close to her eggs. It’s so bad that I have to go in there and remove the eggs with a tooth brush.

What took care of your vernetid snails?

Nothing but they only exploded in population after the wrasse died
