Yup, my corals are not doing good. Most problem I see is that some euphyllias or ricordeas will shrink then die in a couple of weeks. Some just closed and won’t open. My trachy is not fully open as well.
alk 8
Mag 1320
Cal (unknown)
Nitrate 7.8 (low?)
Phosphate .15 (seems high to me)
salinity 1.024/25
Temp 77
Tank 73g and it’s about 1.5 year old.
do I need to increase nitrate a bit and lower my phosphate? Turn off my slimmer? I am thinking dosing lanthanum chloride to drop the phosphate to at or under .10. (If dosing LC, any problem with just drop straight to the sump in the high flow area with the 5 micron sock?)
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
