Dang it Ty you're killing me...... I can't keep SPS alive at all right now and your tank is flourishing with them

Go back about 20 pages and see the doom and gloom in my tank a couple months ago when I came back from vacation. I look at SPS as a journey, not a destination. Sometimes the view is great... sometimes you get caught in the rain with no umbrella.Dang it Ty you're killing me...... I can't keep SPS alive at all right now and your tank is flourishing with them
You got this buddy! Keep at it... keep your parameters stable, add fish, feed lots, and mind your nutrients and you'll be rewarded.

I watched your vacation horrors unfold with baited breath
Something is off in my tank, just got to figure out what it is. NO3 is out of control right now everything else is in line.

I had trouble growing SPS frags for a while. Also had some cyano for a while. All parameters were good. I decided to get rid of the cyano using chemi clean. Twice. From that point, SPS is taking off.
It may be something simple you are over looking.

Have you just tried some larger water volume changes over a month?I watched your vacation horrors unfold with baited breath

My nitrate is 40-50ppm right now with those colors if that puts you at ease.

Look at that little frag! Cherish that one and it will grow nicely

Mine is currently just in my frag tank at about 350 par. It’s finally hitting a stride after the setback and starting to grow again. Sorry for the actinic pic... only one I had on my phone of it.

Currently 0.9 ppm but I’m bringing it back down.
Thank you! We’ve been cherishing him every 2 hrs throughout the night ever since he was born. Haha.
