Help !!!! It Is Normal ...

[lighthouse21]

This morning I wake up and found that my hard n soft coral not fully

open . Usually it open quickly but not today . It there anything I

can do ????

[Dazza]

keep close observation. No panicking as yet lah. If u really concerned, then test water parameters. Did u chg any lighting?

[lighthouse21]

So far nothing change yet . But just taken out a die pink coral tree .

Could this have cause the problem ????

[Dazza]

if yr tank is properly cycled, teh dead pink coral tree shd not affect the water for too long. Shd clear up by tomorrow. If u test water n notice a slight spike in ammonia or nitrite, then chg 10-15 % water to be safe.

[lighthouse21]

Thanks alot ... Go Home and check again ......

[lighthouse21]

I have change the water but still the same . It dont open any more .

I dont know wat goes wrong ?? Any Idea ??? It started after I change the

water the first time . Can I use salt to mixed and change direct ???

Mind checking your dkh(alkalinity)?Aquamedic should be a good & cheap test kit

[lighthouse21]

DoDo

I am new here btw how can I check the dkh(alkalinity) . Using test kit

from Aquamedic ???? Which one I should buy ??? Etc : NH , PH ...

[coralreef]

use dKH test kit from aquamedic

[Dazza]

Opps no test kits... How do u know that yr tank was cycled in teh first place to begin with?

[lighthouse21]

I bought mature water from LFS ...

[coralreef]

that's NSW...low in calcium(usually)....low in trace elements...etc....

[boxfish]

maybe is morning too early no sun so coral heaven wake up ...

my coral always close up when there is no light or sky is dark...

[lighthouse21]

Anything to remedy for this !!!!! Safe to use mature water from LFS ????

Wat should I do ???? Mix water with salt and let it cycle before tranfer the stock !!!

[dodo]

test water first...NSW is safe to use

BTW...dun thk there is MATURE seawater...hahaha...maybe another myth to add on...damned LFS perhaps they mean treated/filtered seawater.....

coralreef had oredy answered on the aquamedic test kit the box is maroon in colour...think it is stated as KH test kit...FW shop might sell them. Sorie, cannot find any pics on the test kit...a normal KH reading will be ard 7-8dKH...IMHO, nothing will open if the dKH is less then 6

[lighthouse21]

Thk . Later go and buy . Hope my coral can kahan a bit

[lighthouse21]

Opps .... Tahan not kahan ....

[dodo]

Mind checking your dkh(alkalinity)?Aquamedic should be a good & cheap test kit

there is no test kit by the name of aquamedic...

this is the brand i am talking abt

[lighthouse21]

I have tested and confirm my KH is 6 only . Just bought the KH Up powder .

How long do I have to see my coral open up again .....

[lighthouse21]

Now KH 11 !!!!! Its this good for coral .

[dodo]

wat powder u put?

6-11 may be too much of a jump

[lighthouse21]

kh up powder !!!! Think could have put too much

[lighthouse21]

Wat can be done ??? Last check my hammer not opening .
