Okay I’ve had this hammer for about 3 months or so and it’s always been nice and fluffy until about two weeks ago. Alk and Calc have remained stable magnesium has slowly depleted since beginning of tank.

Tank parameters
Alk 10.5 stable since beginning
Calc 470 stable since beginning
Mag 1100 (slowly dropped since beginning now supplementing to bring it to 1400)
Ph 7.9-8.1
0 ammo
0 nitrite
5-10 nitrate
0-.03 phospahte

If it were my tank, I would start by bringing the parameters to...

Alkalinity down to 8.3-8.5
Calcium down to 440
Magnesium up to 1320

These parameters are just my personal preference.

How are your other corals?

Most other corals are doing great. Frogspawn right next to it is splitting, acans are fluffy, zoas and growing, monti spongodes is recovering from light shock, monti digitata was Stn but has stopped past week. Xenia growing, gsp browned out, starburst monti I put to high on glass and bleached but is growing back already.

I keep those parameters because that’s what my salt mixes too. Don’t want to mess with too many chemicals. Also I don’t does yet.
