Lance's 225 gal tank

At least I'm not the only one having issues, I no longer have a reef, looks more like a tank from the 80's with all those bleach white coral decorations, If not for the fact my bubble is still doing fine I would just shut it down, kind of odd we all started having issues after adding the Vortech pumps tho?

That bad eh? That Sucks! I think the pumps are just a coincidence. Can't see how they would affect that much.

I think my problems have more to do with the fact I haven't touched the tank in 8 weeks while doing home renos, water change day today hoping to turn things around.

Dave, you've got to get your priorities straight. The house your fish live in comes first; then you can tend to your house.

I think I figured out the biggest problem, the new beer fridge in the new shop! have more water on the go for another change, things may not be as bad as they looked once the glass got cleaned

still, I lost some of my fav pieces, time to visit Marie so I can fill in the newly vacated spots.

That's good to hear; not about the lost pieces but that is it not as bad as thought.

Does a dark blue/purple Cali Tort turn green before bleaching? This coral has been losing colour since the middle of last month. Turning from blue to darkish green and now to a lighter, bright green colour. I've been moving it around the tank: less light; more light; less flow; more flow; but nothing seems to help. I've aready lost one SPS colony and several others are not doing well either.
