I bought a hammer coral around 2 weeks ago, when i first put it in it was opened and 'bushy' but 2 weeks on its barely open and i see pieces of it floating in the water column occasionally, any help would be appreciated.
levels are as follows;
9.9ppm nitrates
0.15ppm Phosphates
8.6 dkh
430ppm calcium
1380ppm magnesium
salinity 1.026
my nutrients have changed over the past week as I've tried to get them under control, phosphate was around 0.25ppm a week ago and nitrates were 1ppm. i dosed the nitrates to increase by 1ppm a day and used lanthanum products into a filter roller to reduce phosphates.
