Viewing photos in the gallery Viewing photos in the gallery Viewing photos in the gallery Viewing photos in the gallery Viewing photos in the gallery Viewing photos in the gallery On September 6, I placed some overexposed live rocks in the water. One with Carolina started to partially cover itself with a brown coating. If anyone understands, please let me know what this is, is Carolina dying or are some organisms dying on it?

this is the beginning of maturation, the lower ones prevail

I hope for maturation... and not the decay of all living things...

Definitely maturation. Just need more stones right away, otherwise every time you add, maturation will start again.

Well, I'll be in Kyiv only next week... then I'll lose another 10 kg... If I add 10 kg in a week, won't it harm the stones that are already maturing?

Vanessa6144

won't hurt.

Setting up a minimalist aquarium And can I order it to be sent by a carrier? I ordered from them - beautiful stones arrived. And don't forget about the sand.

I don't trust transporting livestock, I go and pick it up myself. I brought the stones myself, the sand will be washed on the road and I'll fill it in on Saturday.

By the way, he had scraps from living stones.

forum members. who can give a sensible advice. what to do...karolina seems to be really dying, the whole stone is covered with a brown color... should I move the stones to another aquarium?

Debra

Coraline doesn't die; it just starts to grow lower algae, which is a normal process of aquarium maturation. There's no need to relocate the rocks anywhere.

Jose

Algae... and then do you need to take a butterfly, snails, or a sea urchin to clean the stone from these algae?

Meghan

After you lay ALL the stones and sand, 3-4 days will pass and you will have a brown film EVERYWHERE! Here, strombus and hermit crabs will help you. Then there will be filamentous algae. Or maybe cyanobacteria. It's a lottery...

How to get rid of nitrates cheerfully?

Hetemorph in the samp. You have everything on J.K. (living stones), and they also play a huge role in the nitrification cycle.

Todd

They should have read the literature before the launch.

Cassandra7840

I read both on the forum and books about launching. There are as many opinions as there are people. Keep your Odessa humor to yourself.
