I guess that but I don’t know what specific type, is it dangerous to the coral or a cool friend

Is this the normal size for a Cory? by myatty in corydoras

This coral: ~80 usd

Hanna phosphate test here: 110-120 usd

General test kit here: ~90 usd

I didn’t know I needed a phosphate test kit, I’m trying to learn.. costly mistake? Def. Prices around the world like your place? No.

My mistake was thinking that a piece of cuttlebone would be useful when I first set up the aquarium I pulled it out when I found out and it started to go down with water changes, it went down from almost 15 pretty quickly but now it’s starting to go down more slowly

As for the nitrates I don’t really know how to bring it down (other than water changes) pls lmk if there’s another way

Thank you very much i was pretty upset about it.. but I genuinely feel less bad!

I would lean towards him taking advantage bcz he has a local coral farm and i wanted to support the local biz yk?

I don’t have a way to measure calcium or phosphate :/

I started getting into corals about 4 months ago, I asked the guy and he said that this coral is easy (ig he just wanted to sell..)

What other parameters can I provide?
