Hi everyone ,

I got a new elegance yesterday , I am a first time owner and would love any tips! Also I have my elegance in a PVC pipe and it sways a little (the base not flesh) is that ok? Additionally it likes to hug the pvc , is that ok? Should I move it where it can fully extend? It looks happy and ate for me so not sure

What’s your levels? Especially your Mg? I think I killed my elegance with high ~1450 Mg. I didn’t know they like Mg around 1300-1350 and mine was considered too high.

I don’t know for a fact this is what killed mine, but I read here on the forum that they didn’t tolerate higher Mg.

Good luck with yours. Looks good.
