So I might have screwed up. You tell me.
Bought a small rock covered in healthy GSP from LFS about a week or so ago.
Placed it in my tiny frag tank where it thrived for a few days. I noticed a few hitchhikers and realized I never dipped it.
This is where I hope I didn't screw up.
I had just a little hydrogen peroxide in a bottle so I decided to try that. I read that GSP handles it really well.
In my laziness, I didn't want to pull the GSP out and dip it separately, so instead I put about 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide into the 2 gallon saltwater frag tank. The GSP didn't immediately react but rather slowly closed over the next hour or so.
I left the peroxide in there for about a day before doing a full water change. Several hitchhikers did indeed die from the treatment. It's been about 3 days now and my GSP is still closed up. Meanwhile, my Duncan is happy and my pulsing xenia is happy.
Is my GSP dead? Anything I can do to encourage it to open? Or just be patient and wait?
