jervismun Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Guys I am going SPS in a few days time... a bro will sell me 4 small and colourful frags... do I need to do any preparations prior to that day? My parameters are as follow: Sg - 1.021 Temp - 26.5ºC to 28ºC pH - 8.2 KH - 9.9 Alk - 3.54 Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 2 Phosphate - 0 Calcium - 430 Lighting duration - 3pm to 12.30am (9 1/2 hours) In terms of location, I will place all 4 frags at the top tier of my tank to get strong current and closer to my MH. See pix Welcome your advise on how I can prepare a perfect environment for my new frags in advance!

SRC Member loster Posted March 25, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 25, 2006 your water parameters seem ok try to raise your sg to 1.025-1.026 and what is your mg level? for mg, try to keep within 1200-1350ppm all the best for your try out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it normal? I can try... but need to raise real slow. Mg? hehe... still waiting for my Mg test kit to be delivered (coming Mon/Tue). But I've been dosing a tiny amount of KM Essential Elements into my tank twice weekly. Do you think I should get a dedicated dosage of Magnesium? Is there such a product?

jervismun Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Ok guys... here's my pathetic looking Orange Sun Coral (aka Orange Sponge)... I positioned it quite high up, but slightly shadowed by the vertical LRs... water current there is medium to strong (as recommended by LiveAquaria)... been there for 5 days. Do I wait a while longer or start looking for a new location for it? in advance!
