redsea said:Thanks. Not sure if I did that on my tests before the most recent. Does that permanently mess up the bottle? I read somewhere that it might on some test, but I don't remember that post all to well, lol.
Thanks! Hopefully I will have pictures of the new fishes later and a picture of the Acan.
Oh, that's another thing. I found it odd that my Acan seemed to be doing okay with .5 of ammonia. It seemed okay to me. What would it look like if it was being effected by ammonia?
Flreefer said:I don't see where that would cause any ammonia, nitrates maybe, but not ammonia.
Any detritus trapped should have been converted to nitrate, no matter where it was.
Only way I can think that it would cause any ammonia, is if there isn't enough BB in the system to convert. Not sure though.
The Acan would be all shriveled up if it were feeling any ill effects. If its still inflating during the day, it should be fine.
Good luck bringing the ammonia down!
Flreefer said:I think overall, Acans are a pretty hardy coral.
I also think that it is one of the reasons that they are on the expensive side. Distributors and LFS know that you probably won't be buying them over and over again, because of untimely deaths! Therefore they get their cash, the first time around. I'm sure there are other factors, dictating price, but I think this is part of it.
Look at Flowerpots or Mandarins, relatively cheap, to entice the consumer, but horrible track records, therefore, your back 2 months later for something else to take its place.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I believe it's part of the game.
If your Acan was feeding, and it still gets inflated, I would think its doing fine.
