I woke up the other day and almost had a heart attack when I saw my tank temp was at 90 degrees. I couldn't figure out why so got a new heater. I unplugged mine until I could get to the store and came home to a tank of 70 degrees. Now my Lemnalia is very limp and won't stand up. Did I kill it?
Finally at good temperature of 80 today, so hoping it will perk back up...

That does'nt sound good I don't beleive he will pull thru. May have boiled lemnalia. What type heater was that?

Kamie427

They have not perked up yet. How do I know if they are for sure dead?

Stang Man

When the coral shrinks and no longer will stand back up;I noticed that your temp is to high still it should be between 72 - 78 degrees.Also if the coral does not respond by tommorrow Take the coral out and maybe put the coral in a QT tank or bucket with the water from the coral is now and put a powerhead in for a few days but it may not make it back.Just in case if he does die it won't pollute your tank.

Okay, the purple stalks are starting to stand back up, but the pink stalks are still pretty limp. But they are connected. What do I do about that??

Stang Man

Give it a few more day's time will only tell just keep a close eye on them. Sounds like they may just make it! If it starts to shrink to nothing than you just need to remove it but till then just have to what and see.

Good luck with your coral! D:

Stang Man

Yeah how are the corals now? did they pull thru?

Kamie427

Unfortunately not. Thus far my only coral death. It sucked! I loved the look of that stuff.

Let your tank mature enough so you can try again just keep going time will show this tank as a awsome tank don't give up just let tank run it's course!!

Kamie427

I definitely will try again. I really enjoy seeing the changes just in these few months!

Stang Man

3 month's is about when thing's start to really do good in a tank sometimes 6 months just keep going and you will thank me for it someday!!!

You can also thank him when you have a real bad addiction and spend all your money on a upgrade because you love it so much and then the divorce that come when you have the obsession,
