Hi guys..

Have a maze brain of which a small portion was in the shadows for some time and as such has begun to turn white. The brown ridge portions are white but the middle lime green is still there.

I've tilted it such that the white areas are getting light as well now... the thing now is... is it too late for the brain to recover?

Thanks..

Ervine

Lower ah?? Oooo.. Hm.. I thought higher.. but the portion that bleached was the part that was under the lights leh...

I moved it higher up a little to make sure it gets light all around... so far it LOOKS like it's turning a little brown again but then I'm not entirely sure... shucks...

lighting is the main problem.

have the lighting to shine on all areas. If u want to recover it fast, have ur Ca increase to 420ppm, decrease NO3 level, maintain temperature to 27C highest limit. U have to top up a lot of trace elements too.

Okie roger that...

Moved it up to where the light is better already, will beef up Ca levels, NO3 (tough one) will carry out water change.. temp trying to keep it low without turning my room into an oven... trace elements dosed...

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
