What do you mean by a Big hit of flow ?

 

[Big E]

I was actually referring to the 3/31 video

I like the flow better on your most recent video. Not a big deal as long as the nem likes it.

 

[Catchoftheday]

Your mag is looking great!

Thank you .

Well For what ever reason i Mag has taken a walk onto the glass i had seen it starting to move so i covered my power head . What should i do ? Leave it and let it do its own thing or move it my self any help is greatly appreciated .

 

[garygb]

I would probably move it back myself. I would hate to have a mag stuck to the wall of the aquarium. I would check parameters, nitrates in particular. Perhaps it's flow, perhaps it's water quality, but something has it unsatisfied.

 

[Catchoftheday]

My wife just text me and said it has moved to the midle of the tank on the glass away from the power heads witch it good . the bad thing is it is now killing or has killed one of my Corals

 

[Tmoriarty]

Its probably not done touring yet either. I would do as advised and check nitrates. Although Mine has not moved for two weeks and my nitrates are still 10-15 right now. While I know thats not ideal I am working on dropping them.

Do you think i should move it or leave it ?

 

[Tmoriarty]

if it is on the glass and not firmly attached (puffy foot means its moving) than you should move it. It shouldn't be to hard to get it off of the glass. Just make sure you take your time and do not tear the foot. Place it back where it started and look for the source of its move (low light/flow/nutrient levels/feeding schedule)

 

[Catchoftheday]

So i have moved it from the galss back to its rock so far so good . check water parmeters
Cal 495
alk 10.3
phos 0.07
nitrate 35 they have allways been high im working on lowering every day
nitrite 0
SG 1.026
Temp 79

A trick I've had some success with is putting the ritteri on it's own rock, at least twice as tall as the ritteri is wide, and keeping it from touching any other rock structure or glass with it's tentacles. They tend to move to the highest point of the tank and wandering ritteris will quickly destroy your corals, usually the more expensive ones!
