Hi,
Ive been having my reef tank for about 1 year now. It’s not my first reef ever.
I have chosen only “easy” corals: green seriatopora hystrix, green montipora capricornis, montipora digitata, torch, hammer, frogspawn, zoas, stylophora pistillata, blastomussa wellsi, a goniopora and a plexaura flexuosa.
Other than that, there’s a pair of ocellaris, 5 turbo snails and 2 lysmata amboinensis
I’ve never experienced normal coral growth in the tank…all my corals have been struggling. For this reason, in the last i decided to start feeding more the fishes and use AB+ once in a while. As a results, some of the corals are doing better (blastomussa welssi, zoas, plexaura, goniopora, hammer and torch) while others are really struggling (sps started bleaching from the base, frogspawn is closed most of the time).
I don’t know how to fix this!All my values looks somehow OK, apart from Phosphates that are low:
No3 7.3
po4 0
Mg 1290
Ca 385
Alk 7.5 (0.5 lower each 7 days)
PH 8.0
I keep feeding, but most sps are practically gone and actually also all other corals have never really taken off so far…
i think i am already putting lots of nutrients in the tank, but can’t get those no3 and po4 to raise!
What am i doing wrong?!
i have a small tunze 9001 and prime 16 running BRS AB+ schedule at 70%
