:(

well i woke up this morning to see that my 14 heads of hammer coral are all scruntched up, one of my frogspawn is completely dead ( 3 heads), and the other frogspawn (4 heads) is shrinked up as well, both the hammer and the living spawn looks like its on its way out, all my zoas look ok, the clam isnt open as it normally is, my house got 93 last night more a long time,
what killed everything?
do i take out the corals that are 4sure dead?

 

com on, all i need some help b4 everything else dies!

 

That too bad, sorry to hear that. Sounds like you gotta get some kind of chiller going for the hot season, or you'll be losing more.

 

i stabilized the temp now with a fan, but the things arent opening up
is it just a coinisidence that all the hard corals, are not doing well?

 

is that in your new 135? and where do you live that it gets 93 at night? I'm in SoFla and we're still in the mid 70's at night.

 

Zoas will live through a nuclear blast, frogspawn and hammers are a little more touchy. You need to get your temps in check ASAP! If you keep the AC in that room on about 72 you shouldn't have as much of a problem. A couple good fans will help out greatly also. A chiller may be in order if you can't get the problem solved cheaper. They are expensive but if you gotta have one you gotta have one. If you are POSITIVE the corals are dead I would get them out. If not 100% positive then get your temps in check and see what they do over the next couple of days. Have you tested your params? If not you need to do some tests ASAP and make sure they all check out also. You have to find a permanent fix to the temp problem or your tank won't be an issue anymore.

 

We need more details of your set up. Sorry to hear about your loss. Luna

 

Do some significant back to back water changes asap. :-/

 

i would not suggest water changes until we all know "Nemo" what your water params are,
theres ALOT of "scrunching up" going on in your tank it seems.
I may be going out on a limb here, but didint you just start this tank ?.

Example >
I wittnessed today "1" guy who was buying coral like MAD , two humoungous leathers .
which i had my eye on one, and the "dumb azz" bought like 800.00 bucks worth.
( now that being said ) this guy and his LFS store "owner" i thought that he would have stopped this guy, but the customer was buying like mad ( take note that the tank was like 2 months old ).
I was like dammit... stop... ( such nice specimens and your just selling to this dipshiTZ )
and it will all die.

Pizzed me OFF , i really had my eye one one of theose humouingous leathers, hell even the "customer" was asking me about what aiptasia was.

needless to say nemo... i love ya to death, you have to SLOW DOWN.
and lets find out the real problem/s and correct them .

 

chillers and reef tanks are like peanut butter and jelly. back to back water changes do more harm than good. what are your parameters?
