All of my Euphyllia is looking pretty bad. I have 2 torches, 1 hammer, and 1 frogspawn that are all slowly but consistently deteriorating and I'm not sure why. (Ricordea are also struggling). Tank is 6 months old and I just went 3-4 weeks without a water change to deal with heavy dinos that are now gone. One water change 10% since then.
Stock- 2 clowns
10 assorted snails
1 conch
GSP, Zoas, Lord's, Mushrooms, Blastos and the previously mentioned Euphyllia
Feeding daily 1-2x's a mix of Reef Roids, Oyster Feast, Roe, Arctipods, Reef frenzy and BRS reef chili
System- Reefer 170 34g DT/ 9g Sump
running protein skimmer and gfo 24/7
dosing Tropic Marin all for reef daily 11ML with doser over 8 hours
AI Hydra 32- 6 1/2 hours full light + 1hr ramp up and 1hr only blues at night. Can attach pic of light schedule if needed.
2 AI Nero 3's 970/860 GPH. 20% power during day and 50-70% at night for 8hrs
Parameters- Salinity:1.026(refractometer)
phosphate- 0.13(Hanna)
ALK- 9.6(hanna)
Red Sea tests for rest of parameters
pH-8.2
nitrate and nitrite-0
Ca-420
Mg-1400
ammonia- between 0-0.2 I realize 0 is what it should be so I'm mixing water as I post to do a 20% water change and will do another 20% tomorrow. This is the only thing I can think of that is causing the issue. Other than that, I'm at a loss. Attached is pics under white light. Please help!
