Trying to diagnose what’s going on in my tank. I bought a healthy Acan yesterday and 24 hours later it looks like this
I did an ICP test about a month ago and the only things that came back as a big problem were some trace copper and low iodine. I’ve run cupsorb and carbon since. I have other LPS (hammers) that are doing great and have to be fragged constantly. I bought a torch yesterday and it has opened up and looks great. I put the acan near the bottom of the tank to acclimate and turned the lights down yesterday but it looks like it’s dying already.
Any idea what could cause this? I’m trying to be able to move towards SPS in my tank but I’m afraid to try anything big when stuff like this doesn’t seem to survive.
Nitrate - 5 (going down)
Phos - .21 (going down)
Calcium - 430
Alk - 8.1
Mag - 1430
