So I received a Seriatopora hystrix from liveaquaria this morning. I dripped it over 2 hours, re-mounted it to the plug (it had fallen off), and dipped it in bayer.
I placed it in a low light high flow area of my tank (I read that they come from inter-tidal flats so I guess this is appropriate). Around 3:00pm i noticed stringy stuff coming off some of the tips. Is this the start of necrosis or bailout? or just stress from being handled during gluing?
I moved it to a lower flow area thinking maybe I gave it too much and added some GAC.
As far as parameters temp is 81 sg is 1.025. I have to wait for people with color vision to get home before I can run chemical tests.
But I can say that on 4/17 my parameters were:
PO4: 0.08
temp: 81F
NO3: 1.5
Alk: 8.6
Mg: 1520
Ca: forgot to test :twitch:
