Still no extension what's wrong?

MTREEFER · 05-27-2009, 04:50 PM

I added a yellow pagoda cup and a pearl bubble coral to my tank ab 5 days ago and the still have not come out completley. The water parameters test out fine and the sg is around 1.022. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Bubble coral are fleshy during the day to capture light, hence the bubbles... more surface area... They have polyps that come out at night when the bubbles deflate..

As far as the pagoda, how is the flow?

I would take the SG up to 1.025 or higher BTW....

I agree 1.025 to 1.026 is perfect. Yellow Pagoda cups like a lot of light and flow

k ill get it up. whats the best way to go about doing that? the flow on the pagoda is good and the bubble is kinda in the corner about halfway up the tank with moderately low flow.
