the salty puddle

I emailed the seller. I will phone them tomorrow morning to see if I could exchange the shrimp.

Better be safe than sorry.

My new stylophora that I receive today will surely die... the acclimatization had some problem. The heater of the acclimatization container didn't stop after reaching 25°C during the coral dipping. It reached 26,7°C before I notice it. This seems to have triggered a bacterial infection and a RTN event 😬. I hope it will not affect the other coral.

 

I moved him to the 9to5 cubicle... I give him a 2% chance to survive. The seriatopora seems damaged but recoverable. The pavona cactus seems Ok.

Correct/change seriatopora to stylophora

A very late update, the new stylophora is slowly recuperating but my seriatopora are all dying or stagnating. Even my bird of paradise that was doing so good is dying 🥲. 
This may be due to my KH/Calcium ratio (8.3 Kh | 365 Calcium) or the flow of this godforsaken shallow tank. The upgrade of this tank to a 40cm or 50cm cube (3~6 months) will be a benediction followed by a rebuy of a lot of seriatopora ☹️.

 

As you can see, (if we don't consider schrodinger) my stylophora, pocillopora and pavona had a good growth spurt.

 

I would rate this nano as "disappointing" 😅.

Minimal UPDATE:

(Sorry for the quality of the photos. I can't bother to clean the glass.)

 

The four dead man.

 

The "doing great groupe" with a "dying" intruder (clues, just above the snail).

 

My new fav 🥰.
