Made some routine changes… started dosing All For Reef and adding Coral aminos daily… finally got the alkalinity stabilizing and calcium to come down to normal ranges. Mt first two corals, the favia and trumpet, I thought I was losing during these fluctuations. They’re popping and coming back, and the trumpets are starting to fill out again! Finally on the right track. Going to get a single dosing pump to help with the consistency.
I’d like to ask for some advice and experience on how to care for bleached torch corals and help them recover from the stress and damage caused by recent harvesting. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
I’m currently using Red Sea’s ABCD supplements but feel that the effectiveness is quite low. I’m considering switching to the Coral System 1-2-3-4. My KH is being maintained at around 9.5–10 dKH.
Had this beautiful two headed torch shatter on me when I had attempted to remove it from a frag plug. Aquacultured in a high alkalinity low calcium tank causing the skeleton to grow brittle. It’s healed around its crack now!
Noticed some new growth on my waving hand athelia and algae is being eaten or firing down. Assuming both of these are good signs. Noticed I have lower levels for about a week til alk rises where it’s supposed to be. I do a water change every 2 weeks.
