    Default Do you think any of this coral will survive?

    This is what's left after my crash last night. Does any of this look like it will survive? Excuse the diatom bloom, whatever happened last night really made it come out today.

    In my opinion none of them look "terrible" but if it were me I would probably remove as much as I could and put it into a temporary quarantine tank until you get the problem figured out. How long has the tank been set up for?

    As texreefer said, just keep up with the tank and water quality. None of them look terrible, just a little mad at the moment. Good luck, keep us updated.

    OK, 3 days before your tank crashed, your Ammonia was 0.50, and your nitrites were 0.25. As I indicated at the time, those numbers are kind of critical - as in critical to the lifeforms in your tank.

    At that time, I indicated that I thought your tank wasn't completely cycled. I still don't.

    I'd find a temporary home for the rest of your livestock, until you can sort this out completely.

    Yes, I think it is too, Mike. I pretty much only respond to "Help" posts anymore. Seems like some folks believe I don't contribute enough to MAAST. But, I can't just sit by and let newbies flounder. We've all been there before!

    Going to have to agree with Bill on this one.. Come on guys remember a true nitrogen cycle can take up to 8 weeks.. Take your time,there is no rush.
