So now that I have no Sps and got a nutrafin test kit for chritmas I tested all my levels
Phosphate undetectable Nitrate undetectable Nitrite undetectable Ammonia undetectable And my skimmers producing head finally! Is it possible that I have no phosphate or no4 as that amount I algea in my tank is crazy. Or is it just gobbling it up? |
Safe to say if you have algae you have phosphates. You may be reading 0, that just means the algae is holding it.
|
So keep dosing my Prodibio to see if brings it down
|
So update. Carpet anemone is looking good. And algea is slowing down cuz of my sea hare. Problem is I got a new refractomiter and my salt gravity was 1.20 and I have been bumping it up to 1.26. Hoping this is why some of the Sps rtned and the anemone was unhappy
|
Does anyone think that my Sps failed because of the low salinity? I believe my anemone wasn't happy due to that aswell cuz now the mouth is almost closed
|
The first anemone died because the tank is to young, I would never recommend adding a anemone to a tank that hasn't been running for at least 8 months. The spa might have died because you lights are to powerful, you have to slowly acclimate new corals to the power of leds.
|
The first anemone used up all it's photosynthetic food. Sold it so it wouldn't die. So I have to acclimate any new corals to the lights?? Like every time? The salinity had nothing to do with it?
|
Yes every time, what % are you running the lights at, they seem very low... If the lights are to powerful they will bleach the coral and the coral will die.
|
At the time of the pics I had egg crate ontop at about 65 on the whites 100% on the blues. Raised them about 14 inches or so off the water now with no egg crate and there at 85 whites. How would I acclimate my new corals without having my anemone losing a ton of light? And how do I know how low % to drop them
|
What I would do is put your whites at 40 and blues at 60 with them at 14 inches above water level, then slowly increase the intensity as needed. I can tell you right now that's why your sps died, it got burned by the LEDs.
