> Signs/Symptoms of Overt
Aggression/Poisoning Prevention: 1. Space: For dilution and
spacing specimens, providing varied habitats 2. Careful
stocking plan, selection, placement, order 3. Securing,
sequestering of individuals, colonies. 4. Adequate feeding,
lighting/regimens, circulation 5. Biological, Physical and
Chemical filtration, augmentation, efficient skimming 6. Good
maintenance Water changes et al. Treatment for Effects 1.Moving in
emergencies 2.Water changes 3.Use of chemical filtrants, cleaning
of skimmer/s |

>Cnidarians: 1.Polyps not opening, wilting,
burned appearing, decolorizing. 2.Skeletal septa and skeleton
showing through. 3.Slowing, ceasing, redirecting of growth. Fishes:
Rapid or slowed breathing and movement death. Algae: Bleached
appearance, especially in direction of cnidarians. Slimy
dissolution. |

>STUDY! Read, confer with other reefers to
assemble a working assortment. Buy/Procure captive-produced stocks
they get along better. Otherwise, do quarantine/stabilize new
purchases. Provide adequate initial, stinging, expansion and growth
space between specimens. Go slowly often cnidarians get used to
each other over time. Keep your system in dynamic equilibrium
through regular monitoring and maintenance. |
