I reset my tank after a myriad of issues. The tank was set up on Oct 15th with rinsed live rick (essentially dead rock), no sand and I added Fritz Turbostart. I have a chalk bass in there since Oct 20th and have seen no ammonia or nitrite spike since then.
I got a shipment of corals today (it came early due to an error on the merchant's part, the requested arrival date was Nov 12th). All corals were looking good in their bags. I drip acclimated them until the water doubled (30 min) and added the frags to my tank.
The torch and lobo frags bubble up instantly. They seem to be doing better now (after 2 hours). Is this polyp bailout? I noticed that the water they were in was going cold during acclimation.
Parameters:
Salinity: 1.025
Alk: 10.8
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: <5
