You can really tell about the quality and nutrition of your water by how fast the leather healed it’s self. I really believe you saved it. Great video!
Hi Dave, stuff happens all the time even in pristine tanks. Don’t pay any attention to people like Chris. He’s the “Know it all” type that reef keeping collects. Most of them have no clue. I’ve seen and met these guys before. It’s comical 😁
I have had to deal with people like that on reef2reef when I asked a question about my anemone.
Honestly Dave, the forums are filled with people who don’t know much. There are a few who do, but if you’re new to reef keeping how does one know. I’ll probably delete him from my channel any way😃👍🏻haha
Hey Tom do you use a dosing pump with your 2 part? I decided against the kalkwasser because the only element I need is calcium. Other than my ph every thing else is where it needs to be. My calcium stays around 370 to 380. Mg is at 1400. Dkh 10.5. To 11.5. Ph stays at 7.8. I believe that’s because my tank has the hood on it. Once I remove that and get a prime 16 light that level should come up.
Then you don’t need a 2 part system yet at this point Dave. Each time you do a water change, your calc, Alk, and mg will replenish. You only need to two-part if you’re using up calcium and alkalinity at a rate that water change alone won’t replenish. That’s why with a nano reef I recommend doing small weekly water changes, that way your Calc and alk won’t get too low. I would test between water changes and see if your calc and alk go below acceptable.
Holy cow!!! That’s crazy how fast it came around. I love your videos. Thank you for the content!!
Thanks Alli! Glad you enjoy the videos.
Dr Tom. Cutting that off makes perfect sense. You have beautiful leathers.
Wow I can’t believe how fast it started mending
Hi Dave, haha, not quite🤪yes, I’ve seen this before. I’m not completely sure it’s brown jelly disease, but it’s some form of necrosis. In the past, I found cutting it outworks, the leather heals quickly, and over time it’s as if I never did it.👍🏻
Thank you for saving the corals ...you are awesome ❤
Hi Adam, YW! 😃I hate to lose corals 👍🏻
Hey Tom - hope you had a nice long weekend. Hope that leather hangs in there. I know the feeling all too well. Good luck with the healing.
Thanks Mets! 👍🏻😊to you as well
Hey Tom can we get an update on the leather after it’s surgical procedure? I bet it’s completely healed and you can’t even tell a big dead chunk was removed! I’m just curious.
Will do! 👍🏻
Nice job Dr. Tom
Hi Jack! Thanks. I see your making your way through the Tom Reefer catalog 😃👍🏻
@TOMReefer yes sir
I have learned alot, thanks for always responding, you are only one of the few that does, and I greatly appreciate it
Question i only have a kenya Tree and green star polyps, do you know if i should feed them.?
@jacklawer6389 no need to feed Kenya Tree or Star polyp anything jack. 👍🏻
Nice rescue Tom. 😢
Thanks Jean! Still one more spot I’m keeping my eye on👍🏻😊
Hi Tom! I just got my 18gal cube tank a few months ago i cycled it and all, do 15% water change every week i got my fish a few days ago, they're doing well and i just added anemone that i got from the sea, is it bad to have 2 anemone in one tank? I cant decide which to choose the other one is yellow colored anemone and the other one is purple tip anemone i love them both🥹is it okay to keep them both?
Hi Bogart, unless the 2 anemones are the same species, you can’t keep 2 together. The only possible way is to have a very large tank. 200 gallon +😊sorry
T i have hanna checker,salifert and an api all read 0 phosphate😮 ..
Oooo he’s been saved! lol. What are you dosing your tank with Mr. Tom?
Haha, C Balance 2 part
You should run some activated carbon for sure
Added😊👍🏻
Great tom way to play doctor! Again you have one of the most awsome leathers I have seen . Know that! hope it pulls through! 😢 t I have a ? . I have o phosphate and 10 nitrate. And green hair. its driving me nuts. I took rocks out and brushed and rinsed and water changed. I also dosed phosphate for 5 days still 0 .
Hi John, I would stop dosing phosphate and get a new test kit. Phosphate is what’s causing your hair algae to grow. Don’t be concerned about 0 phosphate at this point.
Thx t. 2.5 yrs .....miss water change wedsday s😅
does your skimmer go nutes after cutting inside the tank? and/or do a water change? Leathers can slime up good but I admit to not being experienced with them - just doing frag demos on them
glad it looks tons better tho
Hi RNE, skimmer doesn’t fractionate and more then usual. I usually add carbon and then water change 👍🏻
Good Morning..that sucks hopefully your leather bounces back
Hey Al, I hope so too. There’s still a small piece that I’m concerned about but other than that it’s healing nicely.👍🏻
@@TOMReefer Nice your leather coral is the reason I got mine, remember I always asked you for tips about my finger coral which is doing really good now..hope yours really gets a full recovery! Thanks..Good Luck!
Goo to hear your leather is doing well Al👍🏻
👍
Thanks D👍🏻
How do I stop my Blue tang from eating my corals? It’s eaten my Pulsing Xenia, Alveopora and one of my torches. I feed my fish frozen foods, nori seaweed, and a marine grazer tablet so they get plenty of food but the tang keeps nibbling away at the corals. Am I not feeding him enough?
That’s a tough one, are you feeding the nori on some form of netting where it can be eaten all day? Also, what size is your tank?
@@TOMReefer Hi Tom, thanks for the reply, yes, the nori is on clips on the glass, the grazer tablet on the suction cup, and frozen foods given with pipet. It's gotten so out of hand (this is gross) but the Tang is even eating the Fox face's poop!. My tank is about 200l. I'm getting a Nitrate spike now because of the amount of food I'm giving, but if I don't the Tang keeps eating corals like crazy.
@physiozone I’m not too familiar with the habits of the blue tang. They may have more ravenous eating habits then the yellow or others. 200l is quite small for most tangs, and you have the Foxface also. It could be that. The Foxface could also be doing the eating. I’ve noticed both my yellow tang and fox face will nip when I don’t have nori in the tank. It doesn’t sound that you’re not feeding enough. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Are you going to do a water change
Hi Chris, yes, that’s my plan for today😃👍🏻 I had done a water change just prior to the cutting to see if that would improve it and it didn’t.
,@@TOMReefer I think that's what I would do.
Why corals loose color?
Hi Jerfry, corals losing color could possibly be a few things. Sometimes Corals need more nutrients. If your tank has very very low nutrients, this could affect colors in some corals. It could also be that your nutrients are too high, which may cause corals to look more brown in color. It may also be low magnesium. Check your parameters, nitrate, phosphate, and magnesium. 👍🏻
@@TOMReefer hi, i test the water every time, everything is good , i was thinking maybe the feeding cuss i feed them twice a weeks? And now im dosing the tank with kalkwasser.,and feeding them more,, to see how they do,, my tank is a 13g nano reef i don’t want to do to much and mess up the water,, i do water changes every Sunday
Hi Jerfry, feeding more may help. Feeding 2 times a week is not enough. Watch and see what happens. 👍🏻
@@TOMReefer i will thank u tom, love your video really helpful 👍👍
