Hello all!
I have a BGS frag that isn't doing to well... As the title says, it is browning and going through what looks like STN from the bottom up.
And here is placement in the tank...
Polyps aren't extending that much either.
Here's some other info...
Tank: JBJ 28g Nano Cube
Lighting: AI Prime HD with the following schedule.
Flow: Waveline WavePuck II, almost directly pointed at it, set to 40% with a cycle of 2s on 1s off. Additional flow comes from two filter pumps that are part of the tank.
Water Parameters:
Alk: 10.1 (Salifert)
Ca: 440 (Salifert)
Mag: 1450 (Salifert)
Nitrates: 5-10 (API)
Phosphates: 1.5ppm (API)
Salinity: 1.025 (Red Sea Refract)
My guess would be phosphates, but do you think there's another contributor? If it is phosphates, how should I bring them down? I do 10% weekly WC with RODI water as it is... and I can't exactly add a GFO reactor to this tank. Could I get a bag of it and throw it in the back?
