Nem skin has peeled off

[n00bReefer]

New tube nem.

Came home today to see it peeled it's skin off ... normal?

 

[n00bReefer]

Even worse could that be the foot that peeled off!?

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

no, definately not normal.

If you want to share your water parameters, details on lights and flow, and tank age, folks will be able to offer some more suggestions.

Sure,

So params were fooked! Tank is 6 months and 30G. Just did a WC so cut params ~50% .

Temp 78.5
Salinity: 1.025
PH: 7.8
Alk: 9.6
Calc: 478
Mag: 1500
Trates: 27.9
Phos: over .90 ( Hanna is low range )
Trite: 13

Funny thing nem does look it's attaching itself back to the foot....

Those parameters look fine, nothing to make rash changes over. (but no need to measure nitrites in a SW tank...)

Hey thanks for the reply! So, nitrites isn't necessary? I didn't know this I had gotten it when cycling... but if I don't need it I could resale it.

Nitrites can be a problem in freshwater but unless they are extremely high (which really doesn't happen after a tank has cycled), they are irrelevant in SW.

Well, note taken! I thought the trites and trates were necessary not so much ammonia. Today I found out!
