Dear All,
I wish to set up a small (20 liters) QUARANTINE TANK for corals that I will be buying.
aside from dipping first with Coral RX as precribe or instructed in the instructions stickers, what else I need to add or medication to eradicate any other forms of causative agent that may be a big head acje for fish and invertebrate in the DT?
I just lost teh last 2 only corals (torch and Hammers) with perhaps suspect of braown algae disease or whatever.....so, I want to let my DT be without any corals for the next 30 days (while I quarantine new corals at teh same time) , so that I will totally eradicated any causative agent as well in my DT that may be killing my torch and hammers.
I am also taking this period to stabilizes my Water parameters in my DT . presently my water params of DT as follows;
KH 9 to 10 dkh (api)
ca 420 ppm (api)
no3 undetected (salifert)
Po4 0.08 (Hanna)
Mg 1380 (salifert)
temp. 26 degree centrigate
PH 8.1 TO 8.2
SALINITY: did not check but it should be around 1.023 to 1.026
I am a newbie for corals and really need to gain more knowledge and help from you guys outthere.
Cheers,
