Dear Collegues
My tank is already 2 months old and during that time I had many problems with Cyano/Dino and high NO3 level. It seems now that all these problem are behind me at least for now. I still have a problem with Caulastrea curvata which shrunk to a certain level few weeks ago and do not grow. Water parameters, at least NO3 is much better as I was starting with 100 mg/l and now is less than 10 mg/l. I am doing 10% water replacement on weekly basis and keep the tank clean. Any suggestions what might cause that Caulastrea curvata stopped growning. I will buy and proper testing set in few days so I can check other parameters of water.
I have another question this time about Discosoma mushroom red fragging. I am planning to frag one of the mushrooms as it is growing over a smaller one. From time to time the smaller one somehow manages stick his head out. I would like to make some more room. Can I just cut the side of the mushroom which is growing over the smaller mushroom or I need to do it as I saw on few fragging videos where I need to cut in the middle of the mushroom. I would like to know your experiences and do not want to harm the mushroom as it is growing really nice and fast. I also red somewhere that it is also possible to cut directly on the base/leg which is connected to the rock. It was said that a new one will grow from the part which will be left on the rock.
Thank you in advance for your comments
