I've had my 40 gal AIO display tank since October and I've noticed my corals aren't thriving.
Nuvo Fusion AIO cube with media chamber, AI16 light. Weekly-ish water changes of 5 gal. I have a skimmer that is not in use, unsure if I should incorporate.
Stock: 2 clowns (one recently added), bicolor blenny, pistol shrimp & ywg pair, tiger conch, cleaner shrimp, sherman rose anemone (had for 6 mo now), flame scallop (I know...), yellow cucumber that just split, an emerald crab and some snails.
Coral: Plate coral, mushroom, pulsing xenia, pipe organ, frogspawn, 2 small zoa colonies, blasto, candycane, and 4 different varieties of goniopora. Everyone looks fine BUT the goniopora are really struggling. All 3 plugs are tucked in tight. One larger piece seems happy but the others are probably dying and I can't figure out why.
Parameters: Nitrate 10.3 (hanna), alk 8.3 (hanna), calcium 401 hanna/350-360 salifert, magnesium 1245 (salifert), pH 7.8-7.9 (API), Salinity .024-0.25/32 or so(refractometer).
I don't dose anything, but I'm starting to think I should. Mag is a little low but not too terrible... I feed frozen spirolina brine or mysis in AM with a splash of phytofeast. NewVision pellet/flake in PM.
I appreciate any help you're able to provide. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks in advance!
