wasp Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 They will do well in some tanks but slowly decline in others. If it does not do well, dosing a product called Reef Solutions will bring it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrem Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 thanks wasp, do you know where I can get that and who makes it?. Also what is actually in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 It's made by a crowd called EcoSystem who also make Miracle Mud. What is in it is a mystery they will not say. 2 problems with it, it is i think somewhere around 50 bucks a bottle, plus once opened it has to be kept in the fridge. It does nothing for sps corals, but if you want awesome softies, xenia, and lps, it is the way to go. Last time I looked it was available at Hollywood, not sure if Jansens stock it or not.

wasp Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 BTW just to share my experience with the effect of Reef Solutions on goniopora, I was given an almost dead goniopora, by someone who knew he was about to lose it so thought it may as well try another tank. It was completely retracted into the shell by this time, no extension at all, right on deaths door. I left it alone for a couple of weeks to see if it could improve on its own, but nothing. Because in the past Reef Solutions has been a good "cure all" for sick corals, I started dosing it, and within a few days stirrings of life began in the goniopora. eventually it became a fairly decent goniopora, but if I ever stopped the daily dose of Reef Solutions, it would go into decline. Eventually I tired of dosing Reef Solutions every day, plus it was making the xenia run rampant, so I gave the goniopora away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazymranch Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/podcast-episodes/693-goniopora-podcast-episode-45-a.html http://www.goniopora.org/ Ttry these. The first is an interview with the guy who runs goniopora.org. I don't have any goniopora, but I found the interview really informative so I reckon the website would be even more so. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
