birds nest

my birds nest frag is turning brown what can i do

 

What are your water parameters?
Alk?
Calc?
Mag?

Where is it placed in the tank?

 

Did you dip it iodine before you glued it to a rock?? Sometimes without a iodine dip you stress the newly broken part of the coral with super glue.

+ what Matt said...what are your parameters???

 

mag 1400 alk 8 cal 400 i had it down near the bottom of the tank i didnt have time to find a place for it do u think its a goner

 

i have it out of the tank now i dont want it to effect my other plants

 

Parameters are great. EDIT - wait what's your alk?
I always noticed that mine would dive when alk and mag were low.

It's a light-hog, move it up high!

 

It will not effect the other corals. Do like Matt said and move it up closer to the light and get it in some flow.

Is it turning brown from the bottom up???

 

yesi put it up as high as i can get it

 

Is it turning brown from the bottom up???

 

If your alk reading is dkH - 8 is low.

You need to get that up.

As I recall from your video, you sealed your top pretty good - is that right? (EDIT - Nope that might have been Bogey)

If so, you could be trapping Co2 which will lower pH. You might consider that as well.
