Mandinga Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 After a recent battle with bryopsis(which i won), my paly's arent looking great. my people eaters have seriously lost their color. I raised my Mg to 1800 and they are all not doing great...they just look bleached out. Will they recover? Anything I can do to help them along?

impur Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I think high mg caused me to lose about half my acan collection also. I didn't notice too much of a reaction from my palys though. Can you start lowering your mg? I used to add 4 tablespoons to my NSW before a WC, i've since stopped doing that and notice corals are doing better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks miles, I also have notice my cans not looking so great. Havent lost any yet, but for a week they looked sad. SPS seems to really like the high Mg. bryopsis melted away completely within a week, hoping that my eaters dont follow suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 you have to think if you are raising something above the natural limit, adverse effects are going to happen. Im actually surprised most corals even live through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 i've lost acans from alk swings and mag dosing doing almost the same thing you just did. the acans take about a week or two before they totally melt. some come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
