I bought a nice new blue tort frag yesterday. I looked at them on Sunday, Tuesday, and bought it yesterday. They all looked great it the store, polyps were extended fully on all three days. After acclimating it for about an hour I put it on a rock about 8 or so inches from the top of my tank. Is it normal for the polyps not to fully come out for a couple days after acclimating to a new tank?
My tank is a 120gal w/ 2x400W MH's 20,000K bulbs, I know my Ca should be a little higher(375 right now) it was at 400ppm for the last two days though. I'm going to look for some kalk powder today and mix with RO so I can top off my sump tonight. If can find some at the grocery store what is the ratio powder:water? I'll be mixing about 5gal and should I just top the sump off to my normal level I have marked on it?
Thanks,
Rich
