Hello there, and thanks for hearing my all time first post on this forum!
Exactly a month ago I had a thriving reef and a cute candy cane, a well established bird of paradise and blue stylo.
But my parameters were a little off, phosphates being at 0.9 and nitrates at 0.00.
I made some research and asked questions at my LFS then bought PhosBan-L from Two Little Fishies.
(Consider i'm a newbie in reefing, being a Discus breeder first). My tank is two years old but encountered some problems by the way...
So I added the recommended dose of Phosban-L without thinking about progressing. So, the day after, my phosphates went down to 0.30.
Then, my Sea Hare was found dead and my bird of paradise closed it's polyps, my cane deflated too.
As of today, my cane is still deflated but not dead, my stylo is nearlybeached out and my bird of paradise is loosing polyps slowly.
I dose Red SeaEnergy AB+ daily, use some reef roid and polyp boosters 2x/week, weekly WC of 10%, nitrates are still at 0.00 (i'm looking for a way to safely rise it up to 5ppm?! ) and phosphates at 0.30.
Every other corals are really thriving...
Is there some help I can bring to my corals? I would like to save my cane and bop too. i brought them down to lower light to help them out and raised my bop slowly day to day toit's old location...
Here's a photo of my candy cane for reference...
Thank you all, all I want is a thriving system!
