lduncan Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 If this is the particular coral I'm thinking of, it's meant to be brown. If it is the same fast growing brown with blue tipped stag which is up and down New Zealand, when it's healthy, it will have a mahogany brown colour (vibrant brown with a hint of red, as opposed to "dirty" mud brown), with bright blue growth tips. If you got it tan, then it probably wasn't in good condition. It might just be recovering after being in a zeovit tank. Don't bother getting tied up in all those additives. The things that these corals need are clean water, light, calcium, alk, magnesium. The rest they are more than capable of making or farming themselves.

wasp Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 What this? "will tht effect the browing iof the stag" If it does increase the numbers of zooxanthellae, it will increase browning. However, as the coral came from a zeovit tank, it is possible it will darken when going to a non zeovit system, nothing to worry about. Loss of blue at the tips though indicate growth has stopped. The main causes are likely to be one or more of these, wrong calcium or alkalinity level, wrong lighting, too much phosphate (impedes calcification), wrong flow.

lduncan Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 You just cannot help yourself. Get over it. I'm sorry. See this euphemism instead: However, as the coral came from a zeovit tank, it is possible it will darken when going to a non zeovit system, nothing to worry about.

KP Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 im solwlying changing the tank into zeovit.. and see wht happens I don't think this will give you a fair comparison as your tank is not mature yet.

wasp Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Cool. Have you seen any other zeovit tanks? Come & check mine out when you can. But as you can see, there are incredible tanks such as Puttputts, Reefs, Crackers and many more that don't use zeovit it is not essential.
