Question is my brain coral splitting?

it looks like I am recovering from my near dissaster....

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...readid=1432820

I have a question... does using Seachem Prime mask the results from a nitrate, nitrite and ammonia test? my test results today seem to be lower than I expected...

Nitrate a little over 25
nitrite and ammonia 0

now for the main reason for this post

is my brain splitting?? I can count 4 maybe 5 mouths on it. how long does it take to split?



and some pics of my other corals

How long after adding the Seachem do you test? I know from my past experiences with stuff like that that if you test an hour or 2 afterwards it will, and if you test before you add it it will give you a good reading. I was using some stuff that was suppose to help lower and remove nitrites, nitrates, phosphates and ammonia and it was just masking them. I started to test before I added that stuff then stopped adding it cause it didnt work at all. Good luck.

I tested the water about 10-12 hours after I added Seachem Prime
