CAmor07 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 The 3rd pic on the right side, the left side zoa has began to diee): Link to comment
msscha Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Other than the normal injunctions to check parameters and make sure everything is okay, it may just be a matter of patience. Some coral get pissy (and there is even variation within a type and even among the heads on the same piece of coral! I have a duncan with one head that will pout for DAYS when it's touched, long after the others have opened back up). Mushrooms tend to be pretty hardy, so give them time and patience, and they'll likely open back up. I only have a single zoa colony, and I didn't get it for 6 months, so have no idea what they might be like in a new tank -- sorry! Link to comment
CAmor07 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 UpDATE: JULY 14 Just got back from vacation. Had my dad taking care of the tank and looks like he did a good job. Im a bit upset tho, none of my zoas or palys are making babies, the only thing that is, is the GSP. Tests Amm and nitrite= 0 Nitrate 5-10 Alk 7 cal 360 ): Cant understand how cal got so low and y my tank isnt sprouting new borns? Link to comment
msscha Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I have one clump of zoas that has never produced a new polyp despite seeming to be fine! OTOH, the acans, which took about a month to get warmed up, then started producing new heads like crazy as did the duncans. It was weeks before I saw any new growth on the duncans, but once they decided life was okay, they began producing new polyps -- the trumpet coral took a while as well. I think coral needs more time to adjust, get used to its new locale and environment before reproducing. Link to comment

Makes me feel all better now, Also after my wc my calcuim still came out at 380 ):, i dont understand hwo thats possible as the water i placed in the tank had like 500 calcuim. Whats eating it up so fast and should i start dosing with reef fusion.My alk is 8 Link to comment

altolamprologus Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Your tank is awfully young and small for a scooter. I hope you're prepared for the training and daily feedings. Link to comment

I hope you're prepared for the training and daily feedings. 100% right alto, I didnt research it enough and ended up getting told the wrong things by the lfs. But hopefully i can get it on brine or mysis or even pellets. Although i have 250 pods coming this week which i guess will help greatly if training isnt working Link to comment

Keep it in a net guppy breeder if you can and it should be eating frozen and pellets by next week. Link to comment
CAmor07 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Thank you for the help and atleast it wasnt a big mistake. Lesson learned lfs cant be trusted like everyone says Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Thank you for the help and atleast it wasnt a big mistake. Lesson learned lfs cant be trusted like everyone says Some can be trusted, it just depends on who works there and who the owner is. If it's owned and run by hobbyists, they usually have the right advice. But if it's just business people or people who don't really know fish, they can tell you some bizarre things. Just take everything they say with a grain of salt and do your own research. Never buy anything on a whim. If you didn't know what it was before you walked into the store, don't get it.

CAmor07 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 You make a very good point, also do you know why my calcuim is sorta so wacked out, and if i should dose Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 You make a very good point, also do you know why my calcuim is sorta so wacked out, and if i should dose Your calcium isn't wacked out. It's in balance with your alk level. Just do a large water change with a quality reef salt and it should go up a bit Link to comment
CAmor07 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 My alk is 10 /: Should my calcuim by higher than if my alks on the higher range Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 My alk is 10 /: Should my calcuim by higher than if my alks on the higher range Oh I thought it was still 7. Just do a big water change. It's the equivalent of hitting the reset button Link to comment

I wonder if we don't all have to go through a developmental impulsive-buying stage before we finally get it right ?! Link to comment
