Tank is stable and recovering

After weeks of stability issues, the tank seems to be stable again and the Coral are starting to open up more. The Candy Cane Coral is really the only one that is still a bit closed up. However, all the coral fed fine on Thursday so things seem to be looking up. 

I believe I lost the Pom Pom crab as there was a huge algae bloom during the stability issues and I didn't see her when I fed the tank. Sad day :(

Also, one of the Hammer Coral heads is beginning to split again so I should soon have 5 fully grown and working heads in the next couple weeks. The body buds on some of the other coral still continue to grow.

The Plate Coral continues to astound me with its beauty. The tentacles are getting really long and I love watching them sway in the current. These pictures do not due it justice.

Until next time,

Tank is still a bit upset.

Salinity levels have been stable for the last two days, finally; for some reason they had been spiking to 1.030 every day. I won't be performing a water change today as usual to give the tank a full week to stabilize. The SPS coral seems to be doing ok and has it's tentacles out. The other LPS corals are still pretty upset and closed but not fully as they have been. I did lose the Tree coral, however.

Hoping things continue to improve.
