i'm working to find a dependable setup for 76 day fallow QT before introduction into display. i'm finding that the sps corals seem ok for about 2 weeks, and then begin to lose color and exhibit health issues.
i'm curious about any other fallow QT owners and your process to keep the corals healthy, not just alive, for 10 weeks. please share your successful fishless SPS QT setups and processes!
my setup is:
- 20 gallon long
- kessil a360x (same as display), tuned with par meter for sps range
- heater
- eheim HOB filter
- hydor koralia nano powerhead
- sand, no rock, frag rack
i've been monitoring and dosing soda ash in order to keep alkalinity up, but am wondering if the health issues were due to the "sterile" nature of a system with corals only. didn't focus on nitrate/phosphate.
