So my tank was coming along so nicely! Yesterday I go get some LS and got a monster green monti from Dean. I got some prattley original putty and went about mixing it. Took the monti out the bucket and tried to stick it to the monti.
Dam monti started slimming, when I say slimming I mean dripping with slime. Tried to use the prattley putty but it just turned to sluge, now I had this before with a "dud" batch so I mixed another one and tried again, yet again it just fell apart.
I have a few questions:
1. Does the Monti Slime do this to putty?
2. What are your tips for using the putty because it clouds the water
3. What is are your tips for working with a monti I didn't expect it to slime that much!!!!
The reason I asked all this is, in a matter of 10 minutes with all the slime flowing around the tank and all the putty in powder in the water all the corals closed completely looong SPS pollops pulled back and closed.
Turned up the flow to full, skimmer was skimming like a monster.
This morning things look a little better, the clams seem to have taken a beating they have a white powder on them and some are gaping (I am assuming they are filtering things).
Would you guys suggest a KH, CALC test due to all the prattley putty in the water?
I would appreciate some feedback and direction.
