welcome back to the hobby glb! I'm sorry but I just saw this thread or I would have been posting some encouragement and maybe helped if I could. It sounds like you figured out what happened to the clowns - I'm sorry for the loss but at least it sounds like it wasn't something amiss with the new setup. One piece of advice I have - did you replace the sand? since it was sitting for a while and had the crash, that may help. One other concern would be your rock could be leeching phosphates - but you're doing what you can about that with the phosguard - the only other thing that could really take care of it would be to bleach the rock and then cure it until you get no phosphates. Given that it's a fairly small tank, have you thought about maybe starting over with some new live rock or maybe some dry with supplementing with a couple of pieces of live rock? I'm just thinking stripping down to basically starting again may be your best bet in the long run.
Don't throw in the towel!! You will succeed and you'll be happily watching your beautiful slice of the ocean soon. HTH with at least some ideas.
I think I saw on another thread that you're a female? I'm just always glad to see other girl reefers in the hobby
Have you checked the par with a parmeter ? the whites might be kind of high . I would lower them to 25-30% and see what happens .
I would lower the lights to 20%white and 40% blue and see how they do . that`s the starting point I used . then In a few weeks you can bump It up higher . I am running that on my 60 gal for six months and two weeks ago I started to bring my lights up slowly. the highest I am running now Is 40% white and 60% blue for only half hour . thinking of adding another 20 minutes next week . so far my SPS like the change .
O.k. I just put my 29 gal back in the wall ,tons of work old out new in ! I got some frags now after all that work , some birds nest ,Hollywood stunner and jedi mind trick . If you would like some your welcome to them . just need a week or two to heal up .
O.K. cool ,I`ll take care of the frags since they need some time to heal .How big is your Tank ? Do you have a sump ,maybe run some GFO to cut down on the algae .Have you checked the Phospates ?
