I just started a 15-gallon Innovative Marine almost 2 months ago and added coral about 1 month and a week in.
Some of the corals are acting strange, and I was hoping someone could tell me if they're being given too much light/flow.
I bought a large toadstool, a small toadstool, a hairy mushroom, 2 gorgonians, a devils finger leather, a small kenya, and a large kenya.
The large toadstool extends its polyps very well, while the devils finger tends to only have one head with extended polyps at a time.
Gorgonians receive lots of flow and fully extend their polyps.
PARAMETERS:
1.026 salinity
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
5ppm nitrate (trying to raise this)
phosphate not showing
PH 8.2
temperature 77F
I have 2 powerhead running low pulse, and the toadstool loves it. There is a good amount of water movement.
I have an AI prime running from 8am-5pm at 50% white, 55% royal, and 70% blue.
Pictures in natural light:
I know the kenya tree is turning white and I would assume its due to too much light?
The shriveled up one i think is a large kenya, is it doing alright? I'm thinking i might be giving it too much flow.
Thank you for any insight!
