Help! New Goniopora is dying!

[Uncle99]

There are plenty of things hobby grade test don’t test for…..

I don’t run an ICP often. Maybe once a year …this year I did it at two different times. Pre starting to dose my self made manganese’s solution and the start of AF lab component pro and then a couple months later

Sure, but how important are they?
A small water change will keep most in check.

Yeah I’m pro no water change


No one changes the oceans water….


It works for me


May not work for everyone.

ICP are good for pointing out things that their are no hobby grade test for

Certain metals that could cause problems and such

WWC

I have bought 4 goni from WWC and they are all dead well the last one has been fully retracted for weeks so probably dead.

I'm quite sure all 4 of them were not agricultured and I got it from WWC's main store.

Everything else in my tank is super happy, I even dropped $1000 on a auto dosing pump and a par meter to make sure everything is perfect and constant in my 15 gallon tank.

Here's my last "possibly living" goni

Sorry to hear this is happening to someone else. Have you had any luck with goni from other vendors?

Have any other information? What par level? What are your water parameters?

I have tried everything it's has been months about 4 months of trying different things.

Did you dip before adding to your tank?
What did you dip it in?

Do you have iodine?


I would move it to the sand bed. It looks like it may be getting too much flow.

Do you know what am your par is at that spot?

I would also dip in iodine for 10min before placing back in tank

How do you recommend doing an iodine dip? I have a similar issue with a Goni, was wanting to try dipping it but unsure of ratios. I have lugol’s and brightwell iodine.

I usually just dump some in until the water looks like dark tea…. And then dip for 10min. Will lightly baste to knock pest off ….i don’t rinse I usually just place back in tank
