Hi can I borrow your experienced eye and ask if the SPS I introduced 24 hours ago are doing good in my tank? I am a bit worried after I bleached one coral some time ago (too early introduced) - thank you in advance!
I am posting as quoted entry from my thread which I keep as a diary:
I am posting as quoted entry from my thread which I keep as a diary:
After trying to bring the PO4 to measurable levels I have added on Saturday 5 drops of PO4 fertilizer and repeated on Sunday. Visually the rock got a bit greenish, meaning PO4 kicked in. Today I did testing, also because I introduced some monties for a test last night:
NH3/4: 0 ppm
NO2: 0.1 ppm
NO3: 15 ppm
PO4: 0.03 ppm (was zero, as in the ocean water I am running the tank on)
KH: 7.5 (8 displayed overdose, 7 was all blue, the previous reading 7 could be the error)
Please advise are the SPS I introduced are getting well, I believe that water conditions and light are OK, what I am a bit worried is the flow:
1. looking fluffy, many polyps showing, I have noticed those are 'hiding' from time to time but not sure what would be the reason:

2. them getting OK, bit slimy but polyps are popping out from time to time and are nicely visible:

3. This one was a bit pale when I took it due to nearby acro in the original tank. I glued it on the body slightly... In 24 hours it is starting getting the color back and polyps look quite OK if you as me:

4. This one has really nice and visible polyps all over the place, it is also pale as it was in the shadow in the previous tank:

So.. please let me know how I could make them feel better and/or if you see any worrying signs
Thank you!
