Nice - glad they all made it, and glad I could snag you pieces of the stuff you really wanted. Super glad to have the Eydouxi backed up! Also, can't wait till December when you come out again because I moved some stuff around in my tank.

I know I made a new thread, but I realized a lot of people are probably already subscribed to this one.

It might help if you started a new thread to let people know where the two threads are.

What is the significance of not having any sand and not much rock?

I had a small accident with kalkwasser last month and lost 2 nice frags, and had to knock a piece off another colony to save it. Another has badly burned tips. Other stuff is starting to recover. I'm not deterred at all though, everything was rely starting to grow before the accident.

So I had a major green water incident which you can read all about on one of the big three blogs (reefs dot bomb). I made this video yesterday. You can see the toll the green water bloom took. I lost one colony of Acropora, 3 or four small fragments, and had to drastically cut back other colonies to save them. You can see what looks like RTN that has stopped dead in its path without superglueing or fragging. This morning, a scant 11 days after the crash, I noticed while sipping my coffee... regrowth! Needless to say, I'm beside myself with excitement and relief.

First off I'm glad to see you have things back under control. However blooms caused a mini crash on your tank. This is EXACTLY what many of us warned you about. Maybe next time use the community for open minded dialogue instead of rudely dismissing our efforts to be helpful as petty ignorant rantings from inferior peons.

Perhaps you should learn the facts of the situation before you make such a high and mighty accusatory post.

I had wild Acros thriving and growing since the beginning of February in the system. One distinct mistake I made caused the crash. No different than mistakes that have caused crashes in expert SPS keepers much larger tanks.

If I'm so high and mighty and dismissing peons why would I BLOG about a stupid mistake I made? On a major reef blog, Huh?

The tank was thriving, you've got the videos to prove it, I made a dumb mistake from panicking, I shamelessly told the world about it, and there you have it. Nothing more.

I was a professional aquarist at a public aquarium before I decided to go to grad school. I've been keeping SPS since 1999. I've bred jellyfish, cuttlefish, seahorses, etc. professionally. I'm one of three people in the world that could keep man o war alive in captivity. I maintained collection permits for rescue corals in the Florida Keys. I'm one of the few people in the world that has grown atlantic Acroporids in captivity. I know what the hell I'm doing, and even people that know what they are doing make mistakes.

The tank will recover in short order, I have no doubt about that. I wouldn't worry about Mr. Massengill, we all have made mistakes except maybe him. :-)

SPS nanos will have there ups and downs regardless of your level of expertise, but throwing wild acros into an uncycled tank is just asking for trouble. I've done it and know others that have and have some success, but all it takes is one little oops and you lose a piece or two. Otherwise looking good, interested to see what kind of colors come in.

Everyone here raise their hands if your tank wouldn't suffer for you making a really dumb mistake.
