Ok, so that answers one of my questions (we were posting at the same time, lol). Nitrates at 0 is never good. You may be starving your corals.We just had a tank move about 5 months back and I got the duncan a little over a month ago. Parameters are:
Temp: 78f
Salt: 31.9 ppt
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
pH: 8.2
Alk: 120
I know my salinity is low and I have been raising it. I don't think the Duncan is taking nicely to this Becuase he always closes after I raise it, but nothing like this. I also have a coral beauty in the tank but I haven't seen it eat corals. Everything else is thriving so I have no idea
Do not try to target feed a sick coral (or anemone). The lack of nutrients in you water though, is a problem.I have had the Duncan for over a month. My judgement isn't perfect but it seems to me the tentacles are GONE. Should I try feeding maybe?
You need to make salinity the priority. You're very low. As for nitrates, what are your current methods of nutrients export? (Skimmer, filter sock, refugium, carbon dosing, etc)How do I raise nitrate
You can feed the tank (fish) more and/or remove the skimmer cup (so it still provides gas exchange but doesn't remove nutrients). What is you phosphate level?I don't dose anything, but I occasionally feed them all reef roids. I have a skimmer and a filter sponge. That is pretty much it.
Post pics under white lights.I don't have a phosphate test kit but it seems he is opening a bit. Is he? He just looks a little more opened than before

Ultimately, my advice to you right now is:I don't have a phosphate test kit but it seems he is opening a bit. Is he? He just looks a little more opened than before
