help with colt coral

[brutherb]

the tank was an extablished tank when I got it, but I have had it for 6 months or so. I moved it to the other side of the tank under the other pc bulb to see if maybe the bulb is weak. Could that be the issue? I was contiplating buying 2 X250 mh ballasts to upgrade to better lights but I want a larger tank as this one is super crowded, so I don't want to waste the money when I would be upgrading later anyways.

I had a colt that was doing the same thing, just gradually waisting away. I brought it around by target feeding with phytoplankton.

can you buy that in liquid form by living reef

I used DT's, try J&L's if they don't have it in Victoria.

When I first started in the Saltwater hobby I started with a lot of Zoo's. They looked so colourful. I was amazed. I read that they like Iodine so I went out and purchased a bottle of Kent Iodine. I dosed at the level shown on the bottle. Before long the Zoo's started to disappear. I had overdoes the Iodine.

I am not sure if your dosing of Iodine is causing the problem, however you are adding a lot of Iodine. If you read the make up of all the items you are dosing, they all have Iodine in their make up. I would cut back on the dosing and the Iodine for sure.

Do you have the colt coral by any other coral that would sting or possibly an anemone? What were the corals or inverts that were around it before you moved it?
