Sorry about your troubles,I don't like dealing with electricity.Be careful and be sure to have company around when you mess with things.I would unplug everything and check the lights first for water contact. Hate to say it but it could be anything so look careful for signs wear and tear.I believe that there is a device you can buy a hard ware store that will check for incomplete circuits.Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in.

I have had good results with the product Purigen. The product is for ammonia and Nitrates specifically.In my experience it does not strip your tank too fast for nutrients.Really easy to use as well.

Well I am down to 2 Star Lords now.And I think someone is using the Lunar Eclipse name already.We still need a name for those palys! http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/productdetailcc.asp?did=11&cid=370&pid=23528

Thank you Emerald,this is helpful.Lighting was a key factor here.I left the set too close to the LED's.As you can see the centers are quite muddled up and lack the distinct rings of the original variety. I can assure you that these are in fact Mind Blowing palys.I fragged them myself,same mother colony.They eat like palys too. Thanks Badx.I am thinking it's time to frag these up,move them around and see what happens.

Are there ways to encourage zoas and palys to morph? How would you know if you had a true morph? I am thinking one must frag the colony and move the pieces to a different system.Then you would have to wait for new polyps to grow out. Below I have included a picture of some Mind Blowing Palys,they have been this way for over a year.The second picture is also Mind Blowing palys from the same tank.

Thanks again for the kind comments everyone! I really do enjoy capturing these photos and sharing.

Thank you kindly,Andy.You will recognize this next shot-

Nice!I have not seen a yellow montipora before.Thanks for sharing.

Ironically mine are not doing very well.I had a amphipod population bloom and I slacked off on my calcium dosing.

Your aquarium is looking really good Aubrey.Thanks for taking the time to post up these pictures.I am sure your efforts will inspire some future hobbyist and scientists.

I have some chaeto I can bring along to the meeting Dave.I'll see you and everyone attending soon!

Happy Birthday,Mr.Vice President.Have a good day!

Thanks,I would trade a well established purple rimmed frag for a green acro.Is there maybe something else you may trade for the Teco frag,it's a slow growing coral for me.I would love to nurse that brain back to health.What would you consider trading for it?

20P-Blueberry Fields Forever.3-9 polyp frags also available. Teco Purple Plasma and gobbstopper paly 2P Pina Colada+5P Bert's Fire and Ice 3P Mary Jane's Acan head with mother colony below BI color frog spawn with macro shot of mother

Everything looks lovely and beautifully captured. *Thanks for sharing!*

Interesting shot.I know that baby cardinals with swim through urchins,do the adults imitate this behavior?

I have 3 maryjanes ready to go, and a generous frag of what I believe is Blueberry Fields Forever zoas.I also have a bi-colored frog spawn head.I will post pics ASAP.

So sorry to read about this.I hope for the best possible outcome.

Okay,I would definitely like the jokers and maybe the Orange eyed ones up top.I have a few other corals available in addition to my previous post,let me know what you like!

*Welcome to PNWMAS,Matt!*

I have a tiny Teco Purple Plasma Arco and a Purple Rimmed Green cap.A nicely healed up Acan Enchinata head,Mind Blowing palys and a single Gobbstopper paly available.

Well let us know what you find out if you send it back.According to my models manual a "acoustic signal" sound could also indicate a defective sensor or controller.

I have a 5017 and if I remember correctly the unit will run a self check when it is plugged in. I can try to dig up my directions if no else chimes in.
