Nitrite.
Nitrate
Ph. 8.0-8.3
Salinity 1.024
Temperature. 26.c
I feed them very well no food touches the bottom sandbed or rock
my fish eat it all up before .
I do waterchanges once every 3 weeks 40% to 50%
Filter is big 2000 l per hour
Skimmer is a reef octopus

Lights aqua illumination hydra 52
————What I have done to fix it —————
Added two bottles of seachem matrix to increase biofiltration
(The amount I added is sufficient for a tank 4x the size )
Added stability 4x including when I added the matrix . (A month ago )
I added two more peices of sone dead rock I had kept from an old tank ........
All this to no avail
