M. Tournesol Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 I emailed the seller. I will phone them tomorrow morning to see if I could exchange the shrimp. Better be safe than sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited December 29, 2021 by M. Tournesol Correct/change seriatopora to stylophora 2 Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 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" 😅. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 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 🥰. If you want to see some content, go look at my 9to5 journal 😉. 3 Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 BIG UPDATE I now have a new scape that is more gentle with my corals 😋. (Bonus, the coral racks have disappeared 🥳) To deal with the flow that was just too strong, I removed on of my pump impeller. Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 I am now in the mood to retry acropora and seriatopora 🙃. Next week, I may become 200~300 € poorer 1 1 Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 I may have gone overboard 😅 but there was a 30% summer discount on all aquacultured corals 😭. I obtained all these for only 228.38€. 1 Quote Link to comment
