What's happening with my prata!

MbmC · January 25, 2008

Just an hour ago it was looking good! Then the lights went out and this happened!!!

Water parameters all in check except Mg at 1860, Ca, pH, kH all good and normal

Fed it earlier on, and it took the market prawn.

omg!!!!!!try doing water change to decrease the mg.

MbmC · January 26, 2008

I've been daily 10% water change! Mg went up to crazy levels I think coz I was dosing Mg. Dropped from 2100 to 1800 now...still doing the changes.

bro, it no big deal. no need to change water. pratas are like that, puff up very huge every now and then, esp after feeding. sometimes deflate until super flat to sort of eject the stale water inside (i read this before somewhere).

high magnesium doesn't affect your corals much. in fact, i think got a thread in rc that says high mg kills bryopsis without side effects

i totally agree with tayhonglee high mg wont affect corals that much and your prata seems digesting its food. Nice prata u got bro

Tat's the newbie in me speaking

But I'm glad my prata is healthy. It's not easy to search for this kind of information online...

when u dose, it is naturally to see the lvls going up. if the lvls remains after a couple of days, then if u feel uncomfy, then change water. no need to change once a lvl goes up like that.. otherwise, very siong leh...
