Emergency help for gorgonian coral

[mBoN]

I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to start targeting 1.035. Def reccomend a ceiling of 1.0264 which is 35ppt. That salinity is pretty spot on already, but I personally run mine riggt between 34.8ppt and 35ppt

1.026 is good? Then i have to increase only 0.0001

1.026 is good? Then i have to increase only 0.0001

you said that your salinity is 25PPT right? that translate to 1.018 you should be 1.024 - 1.026 or 32-35

You are already good in my opinion, but 1.026 is optimal. I would just let evaporation get your tanks salinity to that number and top it off with 1.026 water/matching water, then you can go back to topping off with RODI.

Depending on the volume of your system, and whether or not you top off with an ATO or not, you are fine.

If you top it off by hand with rodi and its a smaller system, you might have that much fluctuation already.

No sorry. Mistake. I thought 25 = 1.025
In the refractometer it is 1.025
So I thought last two digits is the reading. Im sorry. Noob issue

Can you tell me it can recover ? I can change my tank where i have high flow

Thanks for video. Looks more like its dying and lacking flow and nutrients. It really needs good flow however seahorses cant tolerate that type of flow as they are slow swimmers. increase slow slightly.

then your salinity is good. temp and flow is what you wanna look at next.

These can be forgiving and given the right conditions will

Can you guide me or send me video how to feed him with phytoplankton please

Pictures under white light intensity will be helpful. Having a few in my tank, they need medium light, good water flow and daily addition of phytoplankton in the water column

You simply drop via pipette into flow
You will find feeding tips on you tube
I’d post links but not home

Thanks will post the result.

Any specific phytoplankton product for my mixed reef? Does it increase or affect other parameters?

Is polyplab reef roids a phytoplankton please?

Is polyplab reef roids a phytoplankton please?

reef roids is coral food. Phyto is different. phyto is live organisms where reef roids is powdered food.
I buy phyto from either my locak fish store or here:
