Hello All,
I purchased some Soft corals about 2.5 weeks ago. I believe that they are called Kenya Tree Corals, but I am not 100% sure. They looked really good when I put them in there, and they were doing fine, I was adding my Ca as necessary. I just returned home from a week long business trip and noticed that the corals looked to be smaller than they were when I left.
I did testing and found the following:
temp. = 80
NO3 = less than 12.5
NO2 = 0
Kh = 8
pH = 8.2
Salinity = 1.28
Is it possible that my corals are going through a period where they will get smaller before they grow again or is it due to something else entirely?
I do not have any fish in the tank yet. It has been set up since Dec. 22 and things have been going good.
I have:
3 scarlet reef hermits
3 turbo snails
1 trocus snail (my crabs ate the other one)
1 brittle sea star
and the occasional aptasia that gets the juice.
Thanks for your ideas.
