Aquarium Advice Regular
I have a 90 gal Reef with 20 gal sump. Marineland 300 protein skimmer, lighting is 8 54watt T5's. Tank has been up and running for over a year and half. I keep Softies, SPS, LPS and all is happy and healthy.
Ph 8.1
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5 this is where my tank stays and everyone has always been happy.
Phosphate 0
I do a 20 gal water change every other week.
So my problem is that I just purchased this RBTA exactly 1 week ago. I acclimated him for an hour, and placed him on a rock near the top of the tank. He wondered around this rock for about an hour then wedged himself in a crack. I can see a small amount of the foot and that is all. Its foot is pink and does not appear to be bleached. Only once in the last week have I seen it even remotely expand, and this was while the lights were out. He has moved further into this crack over the last week.
I have read if they are not happy they will move, and it may take awhile for him to adjust, but he is not doing anything. Like I say, the foot from what I can see appears healthy, but that is all I can see now. I am trying not to worry to much and be patient, and let it do its thing but I would like to enjoy its beauty sometime soon. Any input would be appreciated.
