Hey folks, need some help. My reef tank is 7 months old, never had any problems. All of the sudden, I’ve noticed that a large colony of zoas and my biggest blasto are starting to look like they are dying. I did a water test today to ensure params are in line. Here are the readings:
PH 7.9
Salinity 1.022
Phosphate- .4 (been battling this for a couple of months, it has shown significant improvement in the last 2 weeks, down from a high reading of .61)
Alk 9.07
Cal 385
Mag 1340
Nitrate 16ppm
The only thing I can think of is that yesterday I noticed my water temp sensor was completely out of the water, and when I placed it back the temp was 88 degrees. Temp is back down to 79 now.
Any suggestions what I might be missing? All fish and most corals are doing fine. Thanks in advance for the advice.
