• Ksyusha is disappearing :(

  • Danielle9144

I bought a white Ksyukha about six months ago; it was pulsating and growing, but then it stopped for no apparent reason! Now it has darkened and looks like a piece of driftwood! I tested the pH at 8.1 (should I try to lower the pH??), and nitrites and nitrates are at zero! There is no foam, as the aquarium is 20 liters; I only have a hanging filter with a sponge and synthetic wool! I do 10% water changes weekly! There is also Euphyllia in the aquarium, which is doing great; it is inflated and producing new heads on the trunk... But with the Ksyukha, there are only problems—it's sad to see knowing how beautiful it can be! Tomorrow I will take photos and post them! Does anyone have any advice?

I think the volume is small and the euphoria is overwhelming, meaning it survives. If there were a pen, the situation would be better.

Ksyusha loves nitrates.

Allison

I heard somewhere that in very clean water, Ksyukha stops pulsating. In your situation, I think it's true, Euphilia has powerful nematocysts.

I understand that we need to try to remove the euphyllia and temporarily turn off the filter. By the way, before the euphyllia, it was feeling better! There is still one hermit crab living in the aquarium, and several brittle stars. By the way, regarding the foam maker—what can be done for my volume????

Jose

I would remove the Ksyukha. You can come up with anything regarding the penny, but where to put it? The aesthetics might suffer. The water should be replaced not by 10%, but by 30%.

especially since it is already black

Rita

What makes you think so? I observed phosphates and high pH, but I love nitrates! Tolerating high nitrate levels is indeed a thing!

The most important thing is that the change in flow (from Ksyukha to Euphilia) won't give anything right now if it was directed the other way before. You can try a little charcoal, make a bigger water replacement. I would like a photo.

I'll post it today, just need to find the cable!

this is what is left of her!!!((

What's wrong with the light? What is the height of the aquarium?

Kimberly3727

light-LEDs! aquarium height 25 cm!! I don't even know how many LEDs, I bought 2 meters of strip!!!

James3382

That's the whole reason. Return the LL or put normal CDs.

Jeffrey2277

Please provide more macro shots of other corals. The tall legs of the zoanthids in the photo are confusing. Also, is that a blue discophora (it should be) in the photo next to the xenia?

Okay, I'll change it from Monday! What temperature is better to take - 10000K or more?? Will 24 watts be enough for 20 liters??

Brandon4517

The disc came off... I put it away already!!!

Chad9037

Discosoma - blue? (I'm asking for the second time!!!!!) 10,000K is fine. 24W is fine (just need to understand - PL, T5, or what?). Just from practical use - how will it distribute light across the aquarium area?

Charles

I'll take a couple of these.

Ashley5975

Yes, it's blue!! Sorry..)

Russell8484

Then - message №15. I don't know these lamps in operation, but I would take such.

Jason

Yes, just in case, it would be good to install these lamps together with reflectors.

Kimberly2102

Okay, I'll put them in on Monday, I'll let you know!! I'm not closing the topic for now...

Judy

Better one lamp like this - Or, if it doesn't fit, two like this - Reflectors will be very useful.

Jacqueline5976

If you don't want to bother with the EPRA, then one like this and the other like that - And if you're really lazy, then buy a ready-made AquaElev light, which already has 2 such lamps with reflectors and mounting.

Tami

And how are these better than those????

Laurie3842

Under the Boyush lamps, there is definitely good growth and normal colors of the corals. Without any additives.
