Someone said they like High Magnesium.
Do you guys all Dose Magnesium for this reason?
Also, If you have high magnesium doesn't that in turn lower your calcium.
I heard when one goes up or down the other does the opposite.
Anyone else ever had this experience? I have a lot of hermits as part of my cuc and was thinking of getting a chalice.
I keep 10 hermies in a 20 Gallon with 20 chalices... I feed lps pellets which end up everywhere and keep the hermits happy but before I got the pellets I only spot fed frozen cubes laced with coral frenzy. Or when I didn't feel like mixing up a batch of frozen I would just add a couple scoops of the coral frenzy to the water column. The only time I had anything pick at a chalice was a pink ******* that a peppermint shrimp ate up and killed, however I truly believe the chalice wasn't healthy because the eyes of the pink ******* were pink like the flesh, not multicolored like the mother colony. I got rid of the shrimps (there were 2 lol) and got another frag of the ******* and this one is healthy and growing. I have it way up top in the tank under a 10000k and a 6500k t5 bulbs. Also a Crazy fox rite next to it and a purple chalice with pink eyes up there growing like crazy. The others are lower and under an actinic and 10000k t5 bulbs. All get medium to low flow. And I also agree smooth skin = shade. Love the chalices!
Anyone that is new at chalices should consider starting with one of the more hardy pieces that have been in captivity for a while, like the Original Mummy Eye or the Miami Hurricane. They are relatively cheap, beautiful, and are hard to kill. When you feel comfortable with how they react and what parts of your tank are good for them collect more
