I had that. The fish in my salt tank were acting weird, and so I just decided to leave them for a couple of days 2 see how things playout, and my clownfish, damsels, and starfish died when i came back from a store in 1 hour-very quick. The only survivor was my condylactis anenome, which I gave to my lfs as something was weird.

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome.

parameters all fine, still using chemical drop test, which arent the best i know, so cant get true figures just going off the colours.

He seems to be doing fine today, been a lot more active in the tank, and eating ok.

Any tips on getting rid of green algae? I've heard of rowphos, has anybody used it? is it any good?

Thanks

John.
