Ive recently started my tank its 3 months old. 55 gal Tank is 4' long 12" wide and 20" deep. I added coral about two weeks ago. They were doing great at first even better than at the lfs but have recently taken a turn. My frogspawn wont extend at all. I have a big zoa colony that doesnt really open. My toadstool used to extend its polyps but now stays shrivled. My xenia also used to extend much more but now looks very short. My parameters are:
PH: 8.0
Amm:0
Nitrite:0
Nitrate:10
Calcium:420
Alk:11
Tests all done using api drop kits.
Livestock:
1: powder brown tang
1: yellow tang
2: clown
1:domino damsel
Lighting: using fluval 48" marine and reef led(not 2.0 but plenty of daylight) supplementing with reef bright led strip full actinic 48".
Eshopps sump using micron bad with chaeto in refugium.
Tunze comline doc skimmer 9004
Marine land 350 bio wheel filter
Crushed coral substrate but i vac it when i do WC
I recently changed up my feeding schedule for my fish as i was over feeding. I feed every other day now with mysis shrimp and brine shrimp half a cube each. I used to do a cube of both every day.
Ive been doing 15% wc but now switching to 20%.
I have one hydor powerhead 450 but ordered a 600 hydor to add and its on the way. My return is a rio 1700. If i forgot anything please let me know.
