    Blue sponge

    Thanks Boomer it feels better to know what it was. The delay from the power out and the bleaching is what threw me off. It took around a week and a half for the effects of the temp. swing to show on the corals.

    Do a big water change. That will help some. I would also retest to make sure of the test result.:)

When all else fails large water change :) No large temp increace except after power out back to norm.72 back to 80 in one day. Yes all softies have lost some coulor...

    Blue sponge

    Thanks Boomer. Do you have any Ideas why my softies would start to bleach? My water seems ok to me I am not shure what happened to them yet but I would like to know what I have done wrong. I am converting from soft to sps do you think having both would cause a problem?:?:

    Blue sponge

    The sponge was much bigger around the size of a baseball, I removed the dead parts, the picture there is a small piece left over. I am not shure one way or another why, I am just thinking out loud.

    Blue sponge

    No I was very carefull not to remove it from water plus it has been in the tank 9 months now. It never did very well but just recently it turned white and died. and two diffrent pieces in diffrent places of the tank at the same time.

    Blue sponge

    Yes very close and yes mine is in the light. My question is if it dies in the tank will it poison the tank? I think the light may have had somthing to do with it. I am glad you have had no problems with yours.:)

    Blue sponge

    Electrocuted The Tank !!!!!

    Wow did I ever mess up. Around 6 months ago I tryed to hook up a chiller to my 110 gal and realized that a electric current was present in the tank. So I, after some head scratching figured out the house had no ground. The house was wired in the 50`s so I decided to upgrade for " SAFETY " not...
