Re: 2 months up and running
Is that a frogspawn or a torch? It's kinda hard to tell from the pic, but it could be a torch too. Either way, they're in the same family (Euphyllia) and have the same needs/requirements. But it's looking really good, good job saving it!

Re: 2 months up and running
10lbs at a time is okay.Make sure you smell it first.It should smell funky fresh not funky.

Re: 2 months up and running
Have your water double checked at your LFS. You could have a bad test kit. Make sure your salinity and temperature are right too -- get your salinity double checked.

Re: 2 months up and running
sorry to hear about your loses. Hopefully by the LFS checking your water you can find out what may be going on.
