Hi all,
I don’t post much one here but I am shutting down my 14 month old tank. Full disclosure it has had dinoflagellates from the beginning, they are sand dwelling type, amphidinium and coolia. I have never been able to beat them and my latest try just about crashed the tank. I lost a yellow tang and my McCosker’s wrasse has pop eye, not sure if that is all that is wrong with him. Guessing this happened with the peroxide dosing into skimmer last night as they were fine before that. Was following the Elegant Corals dino method. All other fish look healthy as of right now and I swapped carbon.
Current livestock:
- Ocellaris Clown pair
- Springer’s damsel (still some acoel flatworms around)
- Tomini tang
- Banggai cardinal
- Tailspot blenny
- McCosker’s wrasse (pop eye)
- Green mantis in sump refugium (have not confirmed it is alive today but was last night)
Rocks and coral:
See pics but three islands and a lot of coral. Some not doing so well, mostly the SPS and some LPS. There is bubble algae as well. The smaller bubble type.
Also will include refugium rock if you want it but there’s some Bryopsis in there.
I would rather it all go to one person rather than one or two here or there so preference will be given for that. Would like to ask $200 for everything to put towards a tank restart fund using aquacultured rock, I’m never starting dry rock again.
Located in Aurora, near Parker and 225. I work at home so am available most of the day except mid day tomorrow. Currently have a hurt knee so I can’t help load. Tank is in the basement so bring buckets and large containers. Aquarium is 70 gallons for size reference.
