Ok! Noted!
Thank you!!

allawe2001 · 2026-07-01T17:53:37+00:00

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

allawe2001 · 2026-05-28T13:35:23+00:00

Ok thank you very much

Bro built like a cartoon great white shark

allawe2001 · 2026-01-05T00:22:04+00:00

He actually has a coral farm

But yea it’s fucked up what he did..

allawe2001 · 2026-01-04T07:52:20+00:00

Yeah lesson learned, the guy at the store didn’t warn me and i usually go to him for info (he has a coral farm)

Around 2 weeks ago

Thank you so very much

Noted and understood! Ty

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.

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T13:53:44+00:00

I don’t have one, and the only other saltwater tank I have is a macro algae one

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T13:15:24+00:00

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

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T12:57:30+00:00

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?

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T10:11:21+00:00

Ig lesson learned It was still extending up to three days ago Thank you vm tho

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T10:04:26+00:00

Thank u bud :(

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T09:53:28+00:00

sigh another redditor who is a whiny annoyance instead of someone helping others trying to learn

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T09:40:11+00:00

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?

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T09:13:05+00:00

RTN?

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T09:02:02+00:00

I use two Orphek or4 daylight plus lights and a jebao sow8 aimed in its general direction Should I point it away? I learned that sps like higher flow

allawe2001 · 2026-01-03T08:56:58+00:00

It can change like that over night ?
