Yeah, that one caught my attention too. I love curry, so if it's anything </em>like that...mmm, mmm, mmm!

Never seen it here...

I had the same issue when my frags went from overdriven t5's to mh...but solved the problem with putting t5's back on frag tank...This was just my issue....But my corals did the same thing

Did you ever get this fixed?

He did get it fixed, and I think the issue for Robb was lack of live rock. Once it was added, the issues stopped. That is what I was told . Unless I am remembering incorrectly.

Hope the best for you.

 

[raisedonnintendo]

Ahh stability good deal easy to fix then.

 

[lilrobb]

Not sure if it was lack of liverock, but adding more from an established system that I broke down fixed it. Could be that the rock I had was missing some bacteria needed for the SPS - I am thinking that maybe a beneficial strain was completely missing. Our March speaker can expand on that subject...
(Until recently, but that's a different story)

Is it okay to add live rock to an established tank? My first piece of LR was from petland and everything after that was dry rock. Maybe I should pick up a new piece of LR to add to my tank? I've also been having problems with my coral

 

[rbredding]

if it's established... you can add it..

you can even add small amounts of base rock if you want to... just add them one piece at a time and space it out a couple weeks (or more).. .

What Rbredding said. Also, make sure that the LR you get has been curing for a while. If you decided to do this, you don't want to get really fresh stuff only to have to let it cure in your tank and cause spikes.
