got myself a bubble today...saw it in the farm and opening big..so i bought it...how long does a bubble need to open in a tank?Mine has not opened yet till now

[andysho]

what is your water condition like?

can list it down

[KapoKidd]

Omg...thnks...suddenly realised its my nitrates...it hit 20+ppm...are there other reefers who still think tt this coral is going to open in a few days time.?

[andysho]

i think you better also check your no2 and other stuff too

[DeepBlue]

try low flow area but with good lighting...should at least open up..

[KapoKidd]

i thought bubbles like strong flow.... will try to put bubbles in low flow area...

[andysho]

bubbles dun like strong flow

[KapoKidd]

have shifted the bubbles to a low to medium flow area so what do i need to xpect next? .will it open up in a few days time.? Im really worried dat it may die. heres a pic to show.My other corals are opening xcept this one.

[KapoKidd]

[butteye]

From the picture yur bubble seemed already half gone leh... how? any update after the water changes?

i think no3 don really have big impact on bubble...

my NO3 about 50.. still open ..

more important on strong lighting with gentle flow..
