+KimP Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Oh wow. That'll be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 GSP FTW. The kenya might kill the rest of the tank with terpenoids, but no way the GSP is going anywhere but everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reburn Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I agree with Jestep. I would have carbon on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 You could really make it a good one and throw some blue clove polyps in there on the other side of the kenya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FluxCapacitor Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 ^^I think they were saying that if the kenya gets stressed it'll release chemicals into the water as a defense mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kenya might kill the rest of the tank with terpenoids, but no way the GSP is going anywhere but everywhere... terpenoids? what is the concern with the Kenya tree? Yeah, the main defense chemicals that soft coral produce are called terpenoids. I'm not sure if something on the base would cause them to produce more. I think in my experience it's a chemical response to a chemical response. If you ever have 2 different species of soft coral go to war in a tank, they can cause a lot of stress to the rest of the coral in the tank. I had some pulsing xenia and kenya tree coral go to war in my old nano cube, the kenya eventually killed the xenia, but there were a bunch of stressed coral even when running carbon.

ceastman Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 and the fight is over, I removed the two combatants from the tank. (back to your corners.... or garbage can actually).... I also just replaced my carbon and gfo. Looks like a water change is in my near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
