hey guys? do all Trachy's have to stay on the sand bed? i see different things all the time. and also, can they also live on eggcrate like in frag tanks?
Greetings from Florida, Chasing coral is a fantastic documentary I’ve been recommending it to anyone in the hobby. Fantastic insight and information about our current ocean. I had the opportunity to talk with Zachary Rago from Chasing Coral and he was extremely knowledgeable and charismatic really one of the best opportunities in my life.
Hola, muy didáctico el video. Tengo 3 trachyphillia, el problema es que no se ven carnosos, estan retraido su carnosidad. En las noches si gro que extienden sus pólipos para comer. Kis parametros son ca 450, mg 1400, kh 8.2 fosfato 0.05, nitrato 15. Que me puede aconsejar. Gracias
Corals do extract amino acids, nitrate, and phosphate from the water column. In the ocean the amount of these dissolved nutrients are extremely low, yet the coral is feeding constantly on marine snow and inverts swarming at night. Yet in our tanks it is hard to supply this to the full extent, so some nutrients in the water is welcome. Stable KH is crucial, I’ve maintained healthy corals in stable 9-10 dKH while Ca was near 350-360. I had slow growth, but healthy corals. When supplementing Ca too quickly my dKH dropped to around 6-7 in a matter of weeks with Ca shooting to 460. Needless to say some corals didn’t like it, most were fine. I did however get a (cyano/dino?) outbreak. Consistency > target numbers.
@@Messier87_M87 I added these slow dissolve old school calcium blocks called Sea Lab 28s. They certainly accomplished the task of raising the dissolved Ca levels to the detriment of my high Alk. I’ll keep using them, but about every month to maintain acceptable Ca levels. I believe it was the drop in dKH that led to the onset of the algae outbreak.
Have a quick question, how well do these typically do in shipping? The ones i want are large and would have to be shipped but only across the state so im thinkin i should be good but id love our opinion!!! Dont wanna miss these deals but if theyre likely to be damaged in shipping sorta like acans and lobos are then ill pass and see what i can manage to find locally
My second favorite coral , I definitely want to have two or three in my new 60cube build. Just need to have a few acanthophilia first since that is my favorite coral
Regarding a bleaching Trachy, I have a hammer who has slowly started to bleach. It’s seeming to bounce back now, but I just wanted to ask if that’s possible? For a hammer to bounce back from bleaching. It looks similar to the bleaching trachy you showed
I remember around 2000 these were pretty common at our local reef shop here in Memphis, I always had one, I believe our current reef people around here can get them, I want another!
Boring clams are another big pest of all LPS, the clam leaves a hole under the coral and works it’s way to the front of the coral. Always check inside any holes on the back of LPS, if there’s a shell, break it out of the coral skeleton before it kills the coral
I have an open brain that was open and fluffy when I got it but after a week or two it wasn't puffy at all and its been like this for several weeks. I feed it twice a week. I believe I might have bleached it some under radions so I moved it under lower light but still hasn't rebounded after several weeks
Wow, this one was the best one you've made ever. Great. Now, I have a small amount of these reddish flatworms, any idea what they are and if they're harmful? Debating on doing a full tank treatment because there will be less toxins released if I do it now since the population is so low
Those flatworms are more of an eye sore than a coral pest, but I try to eliminate them. I am a big fan of whole tank treatments now but you have to be very aggressive about removing the toxins after treatment. Whatever the recommendation is for activated carbon and water changes, be prepared to double it. The toxins are very lethal to your fish.
@@tidalgardens well then I may just do the treatment now. There are few so not as many toxins, u just won a bunch of carbon and ive only got a damsel in there. Been trying to catch him for some clownfish
I've been nursing mine back for years, they truly are slow growing. Mine had an excessively fast die off when I was still new to the hobby and inherited my tank. Consistent hydrogen peroxide treatments to its dead skeleton has allowed it to start growing back onto dead areas but I'll definitely have to try target feeding to see if that helps speed things up!
@@kovidsingh1976 Get a regular test kit syringe, put the hydrogen peroxide in a small container, simply spray underwater the affected area with the syringe. I recommend having blowers turned off so you can let it settle for a couple minutes. Work done!

Yes please!
Yes. Please.

One of the most underrated Aquarium channels. information is to the point and easy to understand. Thank you Tidal gardens!
Sorry I couldn’t be first, I was at the lfs😂
It would be cool if you could comment about the movie "Chasing coral" un Netflix, cheers from Ecuador I'm a big fan!

Good timing just bought one 😃👍 😘lovely colours 👌but wow pricey 😱 .👍🏴
video quality is near perfect😍😍
The brain 🧠 coral 🪸 is thought to be one of the most intelligent of all the corals
I love this coral .

How long did it take for your calcium and alk to balance out? You got the cyano/dino from the calcium spike?

Happy Reefing Than and team ;)
What coral dips do you use.
What about placement near other corals. What kind of shave should it have.
Thanks for another great video.
naw bro not ohio
I can actually say I have never had one so I may have to look into it.
They're great, I've had a few back in the day.

Love these videos. Have an lfs bringing some in from Australia for around $60 a pop so hopefully buying at least one this week.

Awesome video! Thank you for this high-quality content, so much helpful information.
They move????????? That’s why mine has moved a bit haha

It can bounce back from bleaching not once its bleached
how about placement?, i run a BB , is it ok to place on a rock on bottom.
Next time can we see you at your place of work 😉✌️

Corais lindos, pena que no Brasil custa um rim kkk
Spotlights are your best

The same happen to mine, i dont know why. Did yours get any better?
Pro photographer here. New reefer doing great. What gear are you using for you macro videos? Great work on your videos!
Most of the equipment is in the description but we also made a video on it - th-cam.com/video/BEIr8H-gDag/w-d-xo.html
@@tidalgardens Thank you!
amazing macro shots

How does this work?

@@TheCluelessReefer does it work if I'm only left with a skeleton?
@@kovidsingh1976 lol no
Picked up a rainbow welso couple months back and its my favorite in my tank for sure 👍 love to spotlights
