Hi Everyone,

My hammer is dying and my other hammers dont look so great. What cam I missing?

Thoughts?

Sometimes it’s not one obvious thing but a combination on little things

I don’t see a phosphate reading

Alkalinity I’d aim for 8-8.5

Magnesium slightly low, I find euphyllia likes 1400 but I doubt this is related

Nitrates slightly high. I’d aim for 10-15

Flow should be low
Lighting around 100-200 par

Any fish/shrimp that could be pestering it?
 
The picture is too blue to see, but it looks like mostly skeleton. How are your other corals doing? Can we see a tank pic in white lights?
