SRC Member MbmC Posted January 25, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted January 25, 2008 What's happening with my prata! Just an hour ago it was looking good! Then the lights went out and this happened!!! Water parameters all in check except Mg at 1860, Ca, pH, kH all good and normal Fed it earlier on, and it took the market prawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member MbmC Posted January 26, 2008 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2008 I've been daily 10% water change! Mg went up to crazy levels I think coz I was dosing Mg. Dropped from 2100 to 1800 now...still doing the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tayhonglee Posted January 26, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2008 bro, it no big deal. no need to change water. pratas are like that, puff up very huge every now and then, esp after feeding. sometimes deflate until super flat to sort of eject the stale water inside (i read this before somewhere). high magnesium doesn't affect your corals much. in fact, i think got a thread in rc that says high mg kills bryopsis without side effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udayavani Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 i totally agree with tayhonglee high mg wont affect corals that much and your prata seems digesting its food.

SRC Member kelstorm Posted January 27, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted January 27, 2008 when u dose, it is naturally to see the lvls going up. if the lvls remains after a couple of days, then if u feel uncomfy, then change water. no need to change once a lvl goes up like that.. otherwise, very siong leh...
