SRC Member lis9090 Posted November 21, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hey experienced reefers Would need your kind inputs here T.T I have bought a frag plug of water melon Zoas and organ pipe on a frag as well from a reefer. Dipped them with coral dip and put into my tank. They opened up the next day and all was good. However the following day.. they decided to close up and till now did not open again. It has been a week plus. However more of my GSP are opening up . So can't explain why my Zoas and organ pipes aren't happy. My phosphate levels are not exactly the best but have put in ultra phos in a reactor to run. And there's a Ats running as well. Would appreciate some tips and help thank you! Have also been adding recently vitamin c and amino acid into the tank as supplements. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Xtraster Posted November 21, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted November 21, 2017 I suspect it has got to do with kh and fish. Try shifting frag lower to rule out light intensity causing it not to open. Just my $0.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's my fish.. cos I put my zoa frag in a breeding net so no one can disturb them.. and today saw a yellow colour on one of the zoa head.. like it's trying to open !Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
