Hello, 180 gallon, 6month old now,I bought duncan coral from local reefer almost 2months ago (date added December 8) , put him bottom on sand, was happy and fully opened, but two weeks before it started to close or not fully open, I just little changed flow schedule for my gyres, because have started cyano, but my flow is high enough on the bottom. Saw some new heads on one of head starting to grow, thought maybe this is why its closed, tried to change coral place to lower flow, didnt helped so today tried to take out and dip in Revive, so pictures attached from today as i see coral not happy at all, started to getting white.
tank parameters keeping stable just phos and nitrates raised, after stopped dosing sugar, because maybe cyano start growing from sugar dosing. Now added gfo reactor.
Parameters:
AlK 8.1-8.3. Hanna checker
Salinity: 1.025 hanna checker
Ph: 8.2 Salifert
NO3: date added coral was 7 now 10.7
PO4: date added coral was 0.17ppm after sugar dosing 0.03 after stopped sugar raised to 0.12, now with gfo reactor dropping, 0.07.
Temp: 25.5 celsius
Calcium: 420 API
Magnesium: 1380-1410 Salifert
Attached pictures of testing results in report. And pictures before diping and after dipping in revive and turkey baster, and when coral was happy.
