You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

[tbrown]

yep, most weeks

If you're doing regular water changes you might be getting enough manganese depending on the salt mix. I'm not sure if you can overdose on it which is why I'd caution dosing if you can't test.

Have you sent in an ICP test?

 

[tbrown]

I need to.

It’s on the long list of things I’ve been putting off because I don’t want to spend the money.

Thanks
Google got nothing for me but I assume it would be one of the “trace elements” included in reef crystals

So do I just stick them in or should I cook them?
I'm thinking a chickpea curry over rice with a fruit salad for dessert. How spicy does a goni like?

They can probably handle some heat but I'd start about medium and see how they react.

I’ve been needing to send an ICP… then when I go to my LFS, I get distracted by coral and it’s always forgotten about.

Gonis are a coral I’d die to own in my Softie reef (as kind of a merge between the LPS and leathers) but I just sit and read about them bailing…

edit: if you use any of these, not the cloves...

I’m thinking… Raspberry and Pineapple ontop of some merengue, hopefully the fish eat it ;)

I should be more positive. Most of my tank still looks great!

The duncan was knocked off the rocks and spent a few days the wrong way up but look how happy it is in its new spot!

Finally my torch is loving the high light I'm giving it and has at least one new head!

Look at that Red goni! That guys loving life, do you just have a weekly water change to replenish manganese?

Duncan’s have a special spot in my heart, I’d love a couple more in my tank but they just aren’t often for sale here and if they are then they’re a variant I have already.

Yeah its weird how some are thriving while others bailout maybe its wild vs cultured or something else. As for water changes thats not why I was doing it but it is certainly a reason for me to continue.

I'm yet to see other color variants (excluding online stores) but have seen some cool alternate growth structures like the long branched variants.

Yeah I've heard they need manganese?? But then I'd need to find manganese and know how much to dose.

@danieyella is really good for helping you out with manganese. Also I’ve been told by a friend and am planning to use phytoplankton for my Gonis and Alves. They seem to love this stuff a lot even more so than manganese. I want to ask Alex in a next livestream if he ever dosed phytoplankton for his Gonis. Maybe that’s why he hasn’t had good experiences with them.
