go this beautiful Toxic Smash last friday... drip acclimated it for 30 minutes.... looked for hitchhikers with a magnifying glass and bright flashlight and didn't see a thing...
since i only have some mushrooms and GSP in my tank i just put him in....
opened up right away, and even looked like it was eating when i fed my fish (closed up on some food)
looked great till tonight when i came home from work... checked the tank and i found this
looks like an air bubble caught inside the skin...
tank parameters 125 gallon with 40 gallon sump (165 total water)
temp 79
salinity 1.025 (calibrated refractometer)
alk 9 dKH
cal 390
mag (expired test kit) 1280
phos .04
nitrate 5ppm
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
these frags are on the sand under 250 watt 20k radium MH lights with a reef bright actinic supplement about 32" under the MH lights and 28" under the reefbrite
light cycle
2pm actinic reef bright on 2pm reef bright off (12 hours)
4pm MH on 10pm off (7 hours)
in the area this frag is is low to medium flow lights on and low flow lights off
looked at it at 11 pm last night and it was fine.... tonight at 11pm it was like this... can't say what it was this morning because i had to go to work early
all other zoa's i got with this one look great, and the acans and chalice frags also look good
i have been vodka dosing 5ml for 160 gallons for 2 weeks before i got this one to bring nitrates down and i am down to a 2ml maintenance dose
is this normal with zoo's? and should i be worried?
other zoas and frags i got in the same shipment look great
