theres a pic of one here
Recently was offered a frag of one of these corals as a trade. I wasn't able to find much info on these corals with regard to their difficulty and care needs etc although they are purported to no longer be in existence in the wild.
Anyone have one of these and can you point me to any further...
I'm not using salt, I use filtered sea water that I buy from the LFS for 99c a gallon. Much easier than mixing salt...
The hammer is still hanging in there..running a couple of bags of carbon and changing out every 2 weeks seems to be helping. Think there was some chemical warfare going on..
Thanks unfortunately I don't have that book....after a WC levels are looking better. However the tissue coral is still receding at an alarming rate. It has now receded all the way up the side wall of the coral. No loss of zoozanthelle though...
I'm running 2 bags of carbon in the sump incase...
Have a Green Wall Hammer that I've had for about 4 months. I noticed around the start of the new year that it had a couple of small areas where the tissue had receded up the skeleton a little.... It been growing like crazy and I thought it may have just been due to that
In looking at it today...
No kinking issues at all. 1" and above vinyl tubing is some pretty tough stuff. It will also harden up and become less pliable over time. It can be undone though by soaking the tubing in hot water in the sink.
I think there's something wrong with the math here. In theory you should be at 22.5% of residual nitrate after all those water changes.
*starting level Nitrate = 100ppm
1st change 90 gal or 50% total water volume
*Nitrate now = 50ppm
2nd change 18 gallons or 10% total water volume...
