My tank finished cycling the saturday before last and I picked up 2 mochavinci clownfish and 4 coral a couple days later. I already had 10 red hermits from 2 weeks prior to help finish the Cycling. The coral 1 candycane, a zoa and 2 of something else I forgot. One of the zoa's had a bit of gsp attached too.
I dipped them in coral rx for 10 mins like instructions said. I did use a little less water than instructed. Think it was 6 cups instead of 8 cups. Lots of parasite looking things fell off, eventually died. I used ro water to clean off before putting into DT. Threw away the contaminated water.
I've tried moving them once closer to the wavemakers and a big lower down.
I started the lights at 50% blue at 730am till 530pm
50% white 830am till 5pm
A couple days later from getting them, I dropped the whites to 20%
Is there something I can do or buy to help the coral?
My lights are 2 viparspectra each is supposed to be for 24in tanks. 10 inchs above the DT.
My tank is 75gallon 48x18x18 + 20g sump. Tank started up first week of March.
Salinity 1.024
amonia: 0
nitrite less than .1
ph 8.0-8.5
nitrate 5-10
temp 78
