Re: Kenya tree about to split? Wow, it's been a while since I posted this thread! I'll post a current picture of my kenya, not a lot of change but thought I'd mention some very interesting developments!
1. It started to 'climb' up the side of the rock it was on! Couldn't figure out why until I remembered that my bulbs were a little more than 6 months old and were the current brand (cheap imho) so threw some good UVL brand bulbs in there (4 out of six are now new) and it stopped climbing and opened a little more, seems it was climbing to get more light!
2. Still has a huge crease down the middle of it, hasn't split or broken off any pieces, yet....
3. I believe I'm experiences a sort of tank crash which I am livid about because it all points to my skimmer failing as to when things started going south in my tank! The faulty pump is being replaced now but it's coming from California and so may be a week before I get my skimmer up and running again. I LOVE my Deltec mce600 but when that pump failed on me, I guess I didn't realize how WELL that skimmer was working until I didn't have it working anymore! Still doing reg water changes and maintenance but, lost a fish and seems like that was the downward spiral, lost two more and a few inverts, my frogspawn is very unhappy today as well.
Interesting though, is my KENYA seems to be happy still! It's the ONLY THING happy in my tank now! Now, I listed my tank params on the beginners thread I posted but, man these things are HARDY! It's even fairing better than my yellow polyps!
Anyways, I'll get a pic up soon, just thought I'd post what I've learned about the kenya, amazing coral! I think every tank should have one!
