Ok, so I posted a little bit ago about my Duncan’s dying off and not knowing why.

Well I took the remaining 3 frags and put them in my nem biocube.

They all came back nicely.

I love these so I put one back in the big tank. Closed up tight again.

Parameters are all in healthy range. They don’t really change much.

I have hammers that are opened nice and fluffy. Nothing is close to the Duncan that could sting it. All other coral looks really nice.

What should I check?

Can I see a picture of your tank with the placement? Sorry I also need exact parameters. These need random moderate flow and light. Any clue to the par it’s in? I understand if you don’t, par meters are expensive and I don’t have either. Duncan’s have a great feeding response and benefit from target feeding mysis a couple times a week.

I can get a new full work up of my parameters tomorrow.

Salinity - 1.024 (usually 1.025)
Ammonia, nitrite - 0
Nitrates - 19
Calcium - 496
Alkalinity - 8.5
Phosphate - .39
Mag - 1550
Ph - 8

Tested with Hannah marine master on Saturday morning

I dose AB+ 12mg daily, all for reef, forget the dosage but it’s the recommended.

These pics are early July when the 3 head died suddenly and the other pic is one of the survivors

Earlier today, was getting a pic of the tiny thing on the plug but you can see the Duncan’s recovery in my bio cube

The par where it was placed is roughly 100-115
