Hello all. I have a green slimer that is not doing as well as I’d hoped. Along with other sps but we can focus on this one.
I know the parameters everyone recommends for sps and mine are pretty high in comparison. But I am trying really hard to lower them .
I will attach pics of my most recent tests
My lights are reefbreeders and flow are a couple of gyres.
tank is a 65gallon 4’ long mixed reef.
The green slimer sits about 250-275 par measured with apogee 510
I dose all for reef.. started about 3 weeks ago and replaces the 2 part I was using because I had it and figured maybe trace elements could help.
my most recent 2 icp tests show everything great. A little low on trace elements.. mostly iodine but I have the additive and corrected it per recommendation.
I also alternate acropower and ab+ daily.
the slimer is about a month in my tank and has polyps out all the time. But the bright green flesh has turned pale or bluish.
I am still trying to learn acros and was hoping you all might have ideas on what to correct. I chose the slimer for this topic because I understand they are hardy. I just don’t know if it’s a light issue, high nutrients or etc.
The frag rack pic is a couple weeks in the tank… the other one is tonight.
