So my tank has been sitting fallow for the last few months after some ich. Next couple weeks I will be throwing my fish back in, plus a few new ones
. Friend of a friend had a carpet he didn't want, so I grabbed him yesterday. When I saw the carpet he did not have any colour. Don't know if I'd say bleached as it wasn't white. By the end of the day I started to see a nice green start to show. Figured that was somewhat a good sign.
After doing a bunch of reading, let it sit in the bag for twenty or so and dropped her in, and will feed in a week. So I dug a whole in the sand turned down the flow and placed the carpet. Once the foot attached I Pushed some sand back. And she started to unfold, seemed happy. Today I'm noticing the tentacles are not extended fully. Doesn't seem as large as it was puffed out to yesterday. A lot more colour than yesterday tho.
Tomorrow is usually the day I do my water change on. Just tested everything.
Salt 1.022
Ph 8.3
Nitrite 0 ppm ish
Nitrate 5-10 ppm maybe
Ammonia 0-0.1
To be honest all three looked really close to zero but had a little colouring maybe
Temp is between 79-80f
Ph varies a bit. But not so much. Temp stays the same. Salt, I add water when it hits 1.021.
All my corals look good. With the exception of Kenya tree, nice and extended but the polyps on the end are closed.
Being that I can't tell the colours apart at times. Maybe I should take my water in to the lfs.
Guess I should say that there has been a big change in lighting times. Buddy has a t5 setup close to mine, but he had his lights on earlier in the day where as mine come on in the evening more so. They get 7-8 hrs on per day.
Is the anemone ok? Anything I can do?
