The tank is 29 gallons and has been up and running for about 10 months. Since I have started the tank I have noticed that certain corals in my tank seem to do better than others.
So far over the past 7 months I have lost 2 Favia, 2 chalices, 1 micromussa, 1 nepthea, 4 zoanthids, 2 ricordea, and 2 discosoma. I am about to lose 2 chalices and 2 candy canes.
The corals that seem to do well in the tank are blastomussa, gorgonians (both Photosynthetic and NPS), leathers, Goniopora, Blue ridge, and leptoseris.
Recently I set up a new fluval evo 13.5 and moved some of the zoanthids that were not doing great in my tank. I have had the zoas in my tank for the past 6 months and they have not grown and have been slowly losing polyps. This is making me think that maybe it was something in the water that is messing with the coral? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tank parameters:
Temperature: 78.2F
Salinity 1.025
pH: 7.6
Alk: 9
Calcium: 450ppm
Nitrate: 2ppm
Phosphate 0.4ppm
Lighting Schedule (AI Hydra 26)
