the light affects the ph leves of your tank. yours will to if you check it before your lights come on and afte.

[coralcor]

good idea. how do u do a FW dip

i floated a bag of distilled FW. so it go to tank temp. then i put the zoa's in the water for a good 2-3 min i think you can go 5 min but i diddnt want to push it you no.

 

and id ask some one else too incase i do it wrong lol

[Nanobuds]

ok thx. i might do that to my zoas

[coralcor]

ok thx. i might do that to my zoas

im doing it to all the zoa's i buy now. i think better safe than sorry. hope these guys pull threw.

 

the keds red is what im more worried about they were only 5$ but i like them lol. i think the others are good.

lucky you. only one of the like 5 LFS i go to has good coral prices and there merging and moving like an hour away.... piss me off but im gona go get some more 5$ frags for 2-3$ cuz he needs to get red of his stock ASAP

[coralcor]

ok the keds red is still not open. and the other one is open a little more. i think ill do another FW dip.

 

any one think thats a bad idea?

[Nanobuds]

yep bad idea. just wait, probably still stressed from before. also, did you use R/O water to dip it?

just leave the zoas alone, they close up for a few days when stressed
