Who Gives A Fish Forums

UPDATE. Thought it was weird my CA was off. Old kit, so I took a sample to my LFS. They confirmed the low reading, suggested a couple of dosings 48 hours apart. Owner's a friend, and he's big on partials, so I did one dose, then a small partial. Went back to LFS, different salesperson ran the test ...

I've been slacking on water changes and it caught up with me. CA dropping that low isn't normal, I know. Been keeping crazy hours and it fell by the wayside. Appreciate the advice.

Just seems like a mix of factors all coming together at once. The bubble coral just reacted to it.

I dug up some interesting stuff. CA was way off - usually 450/500, now it's around 300. PO4 was a bit high at 0.10, and NO3 was super low, 2. Normally it's 12.5/25. Had a couple of old T5s too. Got my LFS to double-check the values, and they use the same tests. Their take is that LPS like a bit of ...

I haven't seen any signs of infection and we don't have any inverts that could be bothering it. This bubble coral usually has a pretty aggressive feeding response, so I'm thinking it might just need a bit more food. We've had bubbles before that can decline quickly, so I'm not too worried yet. I'll ...

It's been in the same spot for about a year. Not moved it recently.

I've got a large bubble coral that's not expanding like it normally does - it's only about halfway. Our other LPS corals seem fine, so that's a plus. This has only been going on for a day or two, so I'm not too worried yet. dKH is pretty high, like 11 or 12, but I haven't added anything. I'm ...

I'm with you on that $25 limit, but it'd have to be one heck of a fish to make me cough up that kind of cash, especially if shipping's factored in. I mean, the folks here are super generous with their fish giveaways, I just wish I could take advantage of it sooner, but I'm stuck waiting till I get ...

Not a bad call on the fan shrimp goby, I think. You got a shrimp to pair with it?

I'm still working on finding a match, but I'm having a tough time pinpointing the exact species. What's the size of your Goby? That might help narrow down the search.
