    You have me curious now. What were you feeding the coral and how much?

    Small tanks like that can be very difficult to maintain. I had a ten for 8 years on and off. Keep taking good care of it, it will eventually rebound.

    I really feel that was the main cause. I was going to give only one small dose a week, instead of what I was doing. Then I thought NEVER. I am going to leave well enough alone. Many have told me that the light & the food I feed to my clown & sea anemome would be fine. I am also paying particular care of my water. I test particularly for salinty & calcium often, & instead of washing the filter media once a month, I clean it weekly with my water change, in the discarded water. I guess that's just about it.

    You were able to change it around this much in 3 days?

    Sooo, you don't want to tell us what you were feeding and how often?
