Hi Everyone,
Looking for some guidance as to what to do here. I just had a baby recently and kind of neglected the tank a bit. I have a 65 gallon mixed reef tank with a few corals and fish. Left it untouched for a while and looks like parameters went to crap. Have a little more free time and wanted to ask for advice on how to get everything back up to normal status.
Currently have 2 clowns and a blue hippo. Most corals being Lps(hammer, frogspawn, elegance, torch) a few zoa's and two stylo's (green and purple) decent sized about 4 inch colonies.
Have been using reef crystals salt now for a bit and have been thinking of switching to get Tropic marine to get down the ALK.
Also started to overfeed a bit to get the Nitrate and Phosphates up.
Corals all look faded and starting to shrink.
Any advice to kind of get everything back to regular would be great.
Tank Parameters
Salinity - 1.024
Phosphate - 0
Nitrates - 0
Calcium - 470
Alk - 13
Mag - 1400
