Also feedings and what you feed?
Yah, particularly the Mg. I've had a similar reaction from blastos when the Mg went too low.jendub said:creetin if you had a drop in your ph, make sure you keep an eye on the others, especially the mag and cal. I noticed when those two things go out of wack micros and lords will start to peel off the skelton and/or receed.
Jen are you adding any additives to your tank to keep your ALK, CA and MAG in check? Do you have a calcium reactor?jendub said:creetin said:Jen if you dont mind would you elaborate on what perameters you try to shoot for? temp,ph,alk,ca,mg
Also feedings and what you feed?
Temp- 78-81 (I keep it loose cause I don't have a lot of sps and I don't use a chiller)
PH- 7.8-8.0
ALK- 3.0-3.3
CA- 480 (I like to keep it pretty high)
Mag- 1400+ (this one is very important when it comes to micros and lords).
Feeding I use to do a "slaw" of seafood. A good variety of different meaty foods and aminos. I recently switched over to using arctic pods, phyto-fest, and roti-fest from reef nutrition. They gave me some samples about 3 months ago and I have been using it ever since. I am getting a good response out of my corals. I still use cyclop-eez, krill, and mysis but that is mostly for my fish.
