Hey everyone:
Lurked for about 6 months and recently joined. I have a Goni that has some tissue receding and I would like advice on treatment to stop recession and promote regrowth if possible.
The backstory is that I had to chase a fish down that was nipping at my lobo and in doing so stirred up the sand bed. This caused a little mini cycle that brought on some diatoms and type of short hair algae. The goni kept getting algae on It which I removed regularly while dealing with the algae issue. I dealt with the algae by running a skimmer, reducing phosphates which got up some after stirring the bed. I also dosed vibrant and wow the algae is gone.
The other corals are doing well including hammers (pretty large 6 head colony), lobo, leather coral, zoas (polyps still extending as they closed up for the month of dealing with algae), blue mushrooms, another new red Goni, a torch, and a candy cane coral that is growing well.
Parameters
kh 10, ph 8, cal 440, phos under .25 need better test here, nitrate 5, amm 0
This tank is 6 months old and is 36 gallons. I have had a 125 I kept with very few issues for about 5 years before I went to law school and couldn’t manage the large tank. Now I’m starting this smaller tank, which has been way more work by far. I haven’t had to revive a coral before so any help would be great. I’ll post photos of the Goni and other corals for reference.
