Armour of the God is Dying

[chesterwhite]

I have one polup of this and for no apparent reason it appears it is dying. I have had it for about 2 weeks and all was well until this morning. It is still open but appears to be melting.
The results of my water test are as follows
P.H.-8.0
Ammonia-0
Nitrate-0
nITRITE-0
Calcium-460
SG-1.022
PO4-0
KH-7
It is on the bottom of my tank and all the other Zoas are doing well. Any Ideas?

Kh a little low I run around 8-10
SG a little low, I run around 1.024-1.025

Please do a little waterchange to get your parameters up. once up there leave them be for a week, let us know what happens.

+1 to the other posts.
hopefully you didnt pay to much for this single AOG and can get several next time and have better success. if this one doesnt make it of course. good luck!

Thanks Guys, but I'm afraid it didn't make it. Is this type of zoa a more difficult one to keep alive? As opposed to some of the more common ones that you see. Is having more than one better? I'm working on my parameters, I really appreciate the Help. Chris

Sorry one more question. Whats the best way to get my KH up? Thanks

not exactly like this but something like it.. that's like a 2 part that helps you add Calcium and Alk/kh.

you can add it to your tank.

I like using vitamin c, helps out a lot in my eyes.

 

[650-IS350]

works for some doesn't for others.... and can't be pretty bad for few like my self. I don't touch that stuff anymore and still have 2-3 bottles that I haven't used.

Thanks 650,
Is having more than one polup a better way to go?

 

[650-IS350]

At times yes, cause if one polyp is struggling, you can frag the frag to save the other polyps.

You can send me your VC--still works quite well for me!

 

[650-IS350]

If you pay for the bottles and shipping, no problem.

 

[chesterwhite]

Thanks for the info. guys.

Just to add on, some zoas have a problem and melt if you use glue to frag them...just incase that might be a possibility in this case.

 

[650-IS350]

use glue to frag them Are you refering to Super Glue Gel ( cyano crylate ? )

 

[chesterwhite]

I did use super glue gel. Could this have been the problem? You don't see that as a problem 650?
