Sad day

It was a sad day. The coral is bleached beyond words. Must have been badly burnt by all that marine salt. The mucus is just crazy. Took it out for a srub and isolated it. Its still alive but its starting to stink in that small container. There you go, one heavy price to pay for a moment laziness. That's the way it is with marine aquariums, and all the more so that I have a small aquarium and hence the margin for error is much much much less. That's not the only bad thing, unfriendly algae is starting to grow. This is a bad sign and just when i wanted to install the UV radiation filter to kill off all the free swimming algae, the device is broken so ugh! Got more live rocks today. the best i've had so far. Entirely encrusted with coraline. Just inspected the rocks again and found good things and bad things. Good things are there are some corals attached to some rocks. Bad thing is there's a patch of red unfriendly algae which i'd have to scrub off asap. I need my UV!
