Alright guys, I have a severe infatuation with bubble coral, plate coral, and open brain coral.... and of course... out of all the coral, these types are the ONLY coral that I can not keep alive!!!! Somebody please for the love of god.. help me... lol... I feel like I have done everything possible to keep them happy and healthy.. and I never win.
Here is everything about my tank:
-240g Tall
-Coast to Coast overflow the entire length of tank almost
-75g refuge/sump
-WP40 on 100% in else mode
-Reeflo external snapper pump flowing roughly about 1700 gph through (2) 1 inch returns
-1 hydor circ pump
-wp25 on 100%
-ReefBreeders Photon 48 - max white 18% - max blues/grows - 60%
- ASM g4 plus skimmer with mesh mod
Salinity 1.025
Temp -78.5
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 0
Nitrite - 0
PH - 8.1 - 8.2
MG - 1400
CA - 460
ALK - 8.2
pO4 - 0
I acclimate all corals very slow... drip and temp acclimate. I also light acclimate for about 3 days.
Will I ever be able to keep these coral!!! Its just like.. they do great for the first week or so.. and then bam.. in 2 days they just decide to melt away.. after being fully extended the day prior.
