rza007 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I added kalkwasser mix to my tank, shortly after my hammer coral reacted wierdly and now shrunk up. it seems like a section of it is damaged. Link to comment
quiksilver5768 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 did you add too much? If it is used to and has adapted to a much less about of calcium in the water at your LFS then it will just take time to get used to it. What you should have done is slowly dripped it in. Do you does kalkwaser or jiust do it with water changes? If you dont does...i recommed you do so...drip it in a steady rate so your calcium levels dont fluctuate too much. Link to comment
Fant Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Kalkwasser has an extremely high pH, so if you added it too fast, you probably caused a pH spike, which hammer corals tend to be sensitive too. This is the main reason i wouldnt use kalkwasser in a nano. There is not enough water volume to cushion the pH swings. Link to comment
My Alife 7 Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 How difficult is it to keep one of these corals? I've seen them at my LFS but don't know how hard they are to keep. Link to comment

Cam barr Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 i was thinking of gettin some torch to see if my clown took to it im wondering if it would be ok in my nano Link to comment
jstewart0 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I had a torch and a clown but every time the clown would try and play in the torch it would shrink up. The clown was always stressing my torch out. Link to comment
