JGon Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey guys. Just have a quick question. I bought me some frags at C4 this past weekend. I've had them sitting on the sand bed since. Is it ok to start placing them on the rock or how much longer do I need to wait?? Also, what would be a good product to attach them with??

jolt Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 What kind of frags did you get, and what kind of lighting do you run? I like the Two Little Fishies Aquastik for attachment. I use the grey version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGon Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I got a bunch of zoas and a couple LPS frags. A hammer and frogspawn to be more specific on the LPS. I have the Fluval marine and reef led light supplemented with another blue led strip. My tank is a 20g long if that helps any. Who in town sells the aquastik??

Dan H Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'd place them but just watch them for signs of stress. Make sure their polyps open and they aren't "puking" brown stringy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I agree with Dan. Sorry,I always order the aquastik online so I'm not sure who carries it in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryD Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have always had good luck with just plain old super glue, you need to make sure you get the gel type because the normal will run away from you. At Least the few aquarium glues I looked at were a cyanoacrylate glue just like super glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGon Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks for the advice you guys. I'm gonna do some maintenance today so I wanted to take advantage of that and start moving stuff around. Just wanted to make sure it was ok to do so. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGon Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 So I decided to leave my frags on the sand bed. After all the maintenance I did my corals were very stressed. Gonna let them sit there for a few more days. This is the end result after the maintenance. Looks much better than it did before. I'm having a bit of a red slime problem.

jolt Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 They don't look too badly stressed to me, but I'm sure waiting a few days is not a bad move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGon Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 They don't look too badly stressed to me, but I'm sure waiting a few days is not a bad moveThey got better as the day went by. But they were all closed up and like Dan said, "puking" that brown stringy stuff. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Sounds like they might be puking zooxanthellae, which isn't always from too much light, it can happen from stress too. Double check all your water params... Assuming the water is good, then you're probably OK. If they are spewing all the time, then move them lower.

Double check all your water params... Assuming the water is good, then you're probably OK. If they are spewing all the time, then move them lower.It was stress. I did a good clean up of the tank and moved them around quite a bit. So they were releasing all that zooxanthellae for a while. They were fine by the end of the day. But I'm still gonna leave them be for a few more days. Just to be safe. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
