FS - Colony of bright green Poccilapora

Your tank is looking good Jeanette!

 

I will admit, I had a pit of tank envy when I came over to purchase the coral frags. I loved the variety, color, and everything in the tank. It was really pretty!

P.S. the frags are going really well.

 

What kind of lighting do you run? Anything special I'd need to take care of it? New to corals yet but love to get some in my tank. I have many softies right now.

 

Nice Hammer Coral

 

Ugh... I wish I had $35 now! Nitrates are 3. Phos is 2. Cal is high. Cant figure reading out right but I think it is 600ppm. I think my Alk is around 300ppm. That needs to come up yet. Trying to have cal and alk at the same level. Been dosing kalk the last couple of weeks.

 

Sounds like you are having water param problems, sorry to hear that.   What test kit(s) are you using? I wouldn't dose anymore Kalk.  What is your Magnesium level?  Have you tried just raising the Alk?  Sorry Jeanette; don't want to hijack your thread but ThyRaven appears to be having water param issues.

 

Welp... Good thing I didnt buy this guy. had Pet's Playhouse test my water. My alk is 650ppm and my cal is not readable becuz it is off the charts... umm oops. Kalk has been put away for a while. I use API test kits that I bought off of AJ. Need to get a Mag test as I dont know where that is sitting right now but guessing that is crazy high as I dropped my bag of epson salt into my ATO bucket...oops. So I'll hold off on this guy for a little bit but if he is still for sale when my water clears up, you bet I'll buy him!

 

Yes, it is a good thing you didn't buy it with the params. API kits aren't too bad but not of the quality like Salifert, Elos... Did they suggest that you start doing WC's? You don't want to drop it too fast but I'd suggest doing a 30% WC asap. Then do a 15% change about every week(5-7days) for 3 weeks. Then I'd check the params and go to your regular WC schedule. Others might have different suggestions...good luck! :=0)
