SRC Member james72 Posted June 17, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted June 17, 2014 Your leds may be too low and too strong for your corals. Btw, my tank is 2 years old and I don't even have confidence to put in a Mandarin.

Cheers, James Well...I added into my tank because a fellow reefer was decommissioning and I was there to pick up some items. He told me this fish is easy to care for. so he just passed it to me. so far, it's doing well in my tank. colour of it is really vibrate. so I take that as a good sign!

wryan Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Check your salinity.What device you use to check? I checked it with a refractometer. currently 1.025.. I think the problem was because I used a hydrometer and that meter was off.. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapper Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Could be cos of the high temperature? Your parameters seems ok tho not ideal but it shouldn't melt your corals. Anyway the mandarin may be starved to death as your tank is newly setup with no Copepods. I don't keep them in my tank now as I feel such fish should be left in the sea or very well established tank with lotsa pods.

wryan Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 I've got a chiller.. temp at 24 degree. I think the problem is the salinity. I think my refractometer is the wrong type.

wryan Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 shifted my lobo to a new spot. It looks bloated. That don't look like it's a good sign.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wryan Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 So after some water change and a few days passed, my zoas still closed and leather seems to be dying. I don't know what's going on.. However! My lobo looks like it's doing better after I shift it in to an area with more shade. And this hitch hiker mushroom or yuma when I got live rocks from a fellow reefer is doing well! Opened up and I think it grew a little! Hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
