hear algae + browning corals

[KevinK]

it in deed must be a combination of things, it is gust that I cant measure it, frustrates me, as I thought that the hanna checker would pick it up

the feeding, I gust measured, is a tea spoon

I get a bag from the super store (frozen) and ad frozen mysty and dry syclop.

I mix it all a bit and put it in the blender to chop it up so it is nice and fine.

than I fill up the ice cubes and directly in the freezer.

when feeding, I put a cube in a little can and put some tank water in it,

this water / food mix I ad over the day

as everything is in frozen state up to the point where I feed it, it could leach phosphate, but never thought it could be as much.

I started in deed today to lower it to 1/2 the amount = 1/2 tea spoon



my top of water is RO DI all new cartridges about 2 months ago (our tap water reads 0.00 phosphate (hanna checker)

my water change I will also increase to what I wanted (each 2 weeks)

added also GFO today (800 ml) gust to lower things I cant measure – I will keep a close eye on my KH


as mentioned, my coral are fine, but not exceptional.

my monty cap is growing really well, some acro’s as well, however for instance milly’s may grow 1/2 inch in 10 months,

my digitalis gerw about 2 inches in about 6 weeks, and than for the last 8 months, not a 1/4 inch to it.

I recently got corals from Reefer Rob, and as nom other corals I have, thy are browning a bit (polyps are still coloured, but lets say the picolopora is getting a brownish skeleton, as well as the green stylo
