Back From Italy and I got questions.

Italy is always a good time the weather was great, 75 everyday and sunny.

I understand Italian perfectly, because my father is off the boat and barley speaks english, but I don't speak it as well because my tongue gets tied around the R's and some vowels. Hard to explain.

As for the girls, it's funny, they are all married, engaged, or with a boyfriend by 18. The only ones left are the ugly ones. But the ones involved looked amazing. Thier style is so different. Very hot.

Thanks for asking.
 
Ok, I did a 10% water change yesterday, and I tested the water this morning.

Ph. 8.3
Am. 0
Trites 0
Phos 0
Trates 20 (down from about 30-40)

I'll do another 10% change tomorrow or Monday.

The Green Star Polyps are fully opening, is this normal, even with high Nitrates??

Also is it normal that all my corals shrink or completely retract when the lights go out??
 
20's not terribly high i could see the polyps ataying open. and yes they do close at night, they also launch their sweper tenticles to keep other corals at bay. which is why it's important to spread them out. :D i learned that today...

I read about that but I haven't seen any sweeper tenticles come out of mine. I don't think zoos/button polyps and Green Star Polyps have them. Do they?


Also I went out and got that Torch Coral i've been asking about. I had to get it. Anyway it's very nice. I'm going to take some pictures tomorrow when the lights are back on and post them on here.

Things are looking good.
