Hi all,
Would anyone be able to tell me what is wrong with these corals? I am relatively new to this but can't figure out the problem.
Parameters:
Temp: 77
pH: 8.1-8.2
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: <.25
Nitrates: 10
Salinity: 35 PPT
Calcium: 440-460
Lighting: NICREW Marine Plus (10hrs sunlight, 4-5hrs moonlight)
I dose Iodide, Essential Elements, Coral-Vite, and Purple Tech weekly; PhytoPlex, Epsom Salt, and MicroVert 3x per week; Calcium daily.
The reef is only about a month old might I add, corals have been in and like this for about 5 days now. Stock includes 3 Astrea, 3 Scarlett Hermits, 1 Emerald Crab. I run a circulation pump and air stone during the day (air stone in attempt to combat pH droppage). I am also running PhosGaurd, Purigen, and Denitrate in my HOB (AquaClear 20). Already lost 1 softie. Thank you so much for all the time and help!
