Apr 17, 2013 · When a coral is stressed it produces super oxygen radicals and hydrogen peroxide that damage the zooxanthellae and also expels zooxanthellae into the water column. Do you leave everything alone in your tank and hope the coral recolonizes the zooxanthellae or do you stop using your protein skimmer(if you run one) in an effort to keep the free ...

May 29, 2020 · Reducing feeding is going to help a lot. It's a hard habit to kick but it is tremendously helpful. Also, wanted to be sure to let you know that euphylia and lps should not be overfed. They need time to digest the food, and if there isn't any - then the food will rot inside their bodies and cause toxins to arise, ultimately hurting the coral.

Jan 15, 2022 · My torch coral bleached 4 months ago and I have been trying to revive it ever since. My tank was kept at a sustained 81 degrees with occasional highs of 83 degrees (I keep my tank at 78). I now have a temperature controller to keep things more stable and I’m more experienced. I have been feeding this torch reef roids and have been babying it ...

Jan 3, 2016 · Corals bleach from many stressors - but it basically comes down to that they bleach whenever the zoox threaten their survival by consuming more than they contribute. Sharkboy is essentailly right - except that heat might cause a beaching event at light levels that were ok at cooler water temps.

Feb 5, 2018 · Restoring the lost zooxanthellae due to bleaching takes time. When a coral has bleached, but still has tissue, this is the most vulnerable time. The zooxanthellae not only give it color, but acts as a kinda "sun screen" for the tissue. It's best to reduce the light intensity to the coral until it's regained some zoo's (color).

Feb 15, 2020 · before all of this started, I never used heater before, then on september it got cold but my corals were fine so i bought new heater in petco, while im at petco i bought a bunch of chemical filtration, phosguard (only used for 4 days) purigen (im still using it, it barely turned brown) chemipure elite (only used for 1 month) and a bio stone i …

Mar 10, 2017 · Bleach is good for removing dead organic matter. You can put it into bleach and RODI for a day or so (it will not take much bleach). Afterwards, I would rinse the rock and soak in RODI to get any bleach out. Acid plus RODI is good for removing phosphates from the rock. Just remember that HCl + CaCO3 = CaCl2 + CO2. I did not balance it out.

Aug 7, 2009 · When I had fish only tanks with wet/dry filters, I used the coral skeletons like that for decorations. I had 2 complete sets. When one set would start getting algae growing on it I would remove it and soak it in a bleach/water solution overnight. Then soak it in a freshwater with 4x- 5x the recommended dose of a decholinator.

Apr 8, 2019 · Light shock can certainly bleach or even kill a new coral. Unless you know the lighting conditions it came from, there’s no way to know whether high light will bleach it or not. I always light acclimate new corals unless I know specifically the tank they came from.

Jan 3, 2020 · Hi all, I'm having trouble with corals bleaching in my 125. I'm running the orbit pro LED's. I have tried turning them down and they still seem to be bleaching. Parameters are all doing pretty well. I do weekly water changes. I do not …
