![]() Can't quite nail this issue down...
So I've been experiencing a bit more volatility in my tank lately than I would like and I can't seem to pinpoint the issue. Basically I'm observing signs of stress from my more delicate corals but my tests aren't showing any issues. I have a derasa, crocea and maxima clam, sponges, two dedicated rocks for anemones and zoanthids, elegance, dendrophyllia, and an abundance of euphyllia and other LPS all of which are not showing any signs of stress - yet. The issue... periodic tissue loss beginning from the base of sps and minor tissue recession from the edge/tips of pectinia, chalice and scolymia. Parameters... (tested weekly with Red Sea kits) Salinity - 1.025 Temp - 77.5 Alk - 9.8 dkh Calcium - 450 ppm Magnesium - 1300 ppm Nitrate - 1.0 ppm Phosphate - 0.05 ppm Other observations... • 23% water changes done every two weeks, noticeable improvement in coral health in days following • Tissue recession / loss doesn't appear to be occurring all the time. Rather during periods of low attention and overall maintenance. • Pectinia and chalice coral tissue seems to be deflated or tight against the skeleton during these trouble periods. • No observed changes in parameters or nutrients in these periods. System... Red Sea Reefer 250 - 65 gallons Razor LED Bubble Magus NAC 3.5 skimmer Activated carbon Chaeto refugium Dose seachem fusion 1 and 2 and Red Sea NOPO-X http://imgur.com/BaLyIEa http://imgur.com/4n4RBor http://imgur.com/V1YpNR5 http://imgur.com/15NznUp http://imgur.com/KgOmYU2 http://imgur.com/Oybq5LW http://imgur.com/RZ7rBwM http://imgur.com/7G0BhlI I would greatly appreciate hearing any thoughts or similar experiences. And as always, thanks for reading! |
