Firestarter's 2ft Standard tank

[iskay]

Just a small update.

Bought a strawberry crab from Pasir Ris farmway. It says its reef safe, but reefers have experience them attacking fishes.

They look like Dungeness Crab. Delicious...

[Firestarter]

Did a major rescape few days ago. Kind of regretted doing that, because now most of my corals are not doing well after the shift.

Here's my tank currently now. Note the white hammer on the right is half expanded.

[Firestarter]

Another shot of the hammer.

My other hammer and frogspawn is doing fine. I have no idea what happened to this hammer.

I'm willing to pass this hammer to anyone who can help nurse it back to health, as I'm afraid it'll only get worse.

Here's a moonlight shot of my tank, the light coming from my algae scrubber located in the overflow.

looks white. isit bleached? my sentiments same with mr xxx. not much you can do for it.

there is some algae growth on the skeleton also.

my guess is, bleached, and slow tissue recession causing algae to grow on the skeleton.

Hi lemon, the hammer is already white when I bought it few months ago. It has been doing fine until recently I noticed that the right side is expanding lesser and lesser day by day. There is some algae on the skeleton. Should I brush it with a toothbrush? Afraid it'll just stress it more.

So do you think its confirm up lorry? Any way to save it? Its the first hammer I got, very sad to see it like this.

it could already been bleach abit when you got it. then maybe the condition worsened and it started to receed. im not sure if its salvagable. most of the time is mine is like this it ends up dying eventually

Some updates. Having problems with my mushroom corals, I decided to get myself a small 1ft tank, specially for keeping mushroom corals.

[Firestarter]

The tank will be standalone, and not connected to the main tank. However lighting poses a problem.

I bought a 2ft DIY T5 kit from DE. The lightset will be shared with the main tank and mushroom tank.

Here's the current situation of my lighting now.

[Firestarter]

Next DIY project: To DIY a light rack to share between the 2 tanks. Also to get proper lightings for my algae scrubber.

2 pieces of wood that I've kept long time ago in case I had to use it for another DIY light project. Turned out that I was right.

[Firestarter]

Painted the wood with glossy black paint. It just finished drying, will continue with progress tomorrow.

i think the right side of your hammer can't be saved already judging from how much it receded from the skeleton. the same thing happened to one of my torch heads. and i do agree with lemon on the bleaching issue
