It is really hard to say why this happened, I have never seen a situation such as this, but since the corals came from me I do feel bad. (Even thought that was not the intent of posting this I know. ) I just can not help but feel bad in a situation like this. But Bill you know I got your back. Just hope the next round goes better. How is the tank setup going anyways? Thanks for being understanding knowing that this happens, most people are a little harder to deal with than that, but I appreciate it. I am the lasst person on TRT that would leave you high and dry. Hope all is well besides this. Steve

You got your eel!!!! Sweet!!!!

I want a more detailed pic.

Yeah, all is cool Steve. Doodoo happens, you go it covered....just trying to understand a little more of what exactly might have possibly happened. Sounds like weve got the problem clearly identified as "doodoo happens".

Bill, email me, I have some short notes on why some of this happens, but need to talk to you about the arrival conditions, the way the frags were packed for shipping, and how the frags were handled after arrival. Some small details can occaionally become big deals. I would not blame Steve or anyone else regarding this actually happening, but it doesn't hurt to eliminate as many issues as possible from the start.

This condition sometimes just happens, but I'll give you a list of things that might make it worse, and a few things that might prevent it as well when I get back this weekend (SWU-II).

HTH

Im VERY interested in your short notes Tom(even though i have a hunch theyre not that short)

Also thought everybody might like to see the coral 1 month later.

Considerable improvement and growth over the areas that died. The pic unfortunately came out quite dark.
