Is my hammer a lost cause. This tank has been stable for over a year. I recently started to feed a little more because Iv had low nutrients for so long and also got 2 nassarius snails. They seemed to have hard time finding the small pieces of food so long story short I fed about 1/3 more than I normally do. Test every week. I alternate between my tests and the LFS tests.
all of a sudden within a week my hammer got so bad. It is ussually doing so well and it’s just spilt one head a month or two ago and the other head is splitting that’s why I thought it was going through it’s phase so I was worried, today it looked rough. Did a test and got these.
temp 78 ph-8.1 specific gravity-1.026 Ammonia-0 NO2-0 NO3-40 DKH-11.8 mag-1500 cal-450.
Here is my normal range and it’s been this for almost a year. Ammonia, NO2-0 NO3 2-8 dkh around 9 mag around 1300-1400 and calcium 350-390.
so what that tells me is all my dkh,mag,calcium are higher so the Coral aren’t growing and untilizing it like they have in the past but why? Only thing I can see is the NO3 jumped way way up! Is that enough for my Coral to not only not be happy but tissue disappear in less than a week???!!
Also is it still able to make a full recovery? I’m confidant in being able to keep good water like I said only reason took me long to catch it was cause I thought it was going through a phase while splitting. Thoughts (helpful) ….
