been in the hobby awhile, had some great success, had some big failures. 265g tank. about 3 years ago had a big crash, alk spiked to 15dkh(dosing failure) and destroyed all my SPS. LPS were uneffected. then the kid was born and the tank got severely neglected. Im getting back into it again. All the LPS is still thriving(favia, favites, cyphastrea, platy, leptastrea, tachy). I used to grow sps and acros great. But since the crash I havent been able to keep any acros. The RTN after a few hours in the tank. took a break before trying anything new. got back on a water change schedule, cleaned the tank up. thought I would try an "easy" acro. Bought the frag on Saturday, and as of today its starting to RTN but the stylo frag I got the same day seems to be uneffected.
ammonia undetectable with api
nitrates undetectable with api
nitrites undetectable with api
alk 8.5dkh
calicum 550
magnesium 1500
ph 8.0
I know the calcium and magnesium are super high but I can not figure out how to get them down. Doing some reading through the forums it seems like maybe I have a nutrient deficiency? Any thoughts, input advice would be awesome. I need to get the tank dialed in before I go trying another frag. At this point I'm ready to start investing some real money to make this tank successful again
