Hey all,
Having a rough time with my tank lately, things are closed and not really opening, found a few things wrong. Few mushrooms randomly melting, not sure if they were bad from where I bought them or my tank. Now my goni's are closed and no longer opening.
Found my nitrates kind of high, did a few WC and put chaeto back in my tank and they are progressively getting lower. started at like 16ppm to now 8-9 ppm.
I ordered an ICP test and received it back, everything seems in check except Iron, Silicon, and Iodine.
Iron is 8.284 µg/l, the setpoint on this should be 0, but doesn't tell me how high 8 is. Is this off the Chart high and immediate concern or is it like over the next few days try to figure out the source.
Silicon is 428 µg/l with a setpoint of 0-200
Iodine is 137 µg/l with a setpoint of 30-90-i can figure this one out as i was manually dosing 2 drops a week due to it being to low.
Seems my salinity is a little low and have been slowly increasing.32.5 on the apex which converts to 1.0245
orp-252
ph swings between 7.79-7.96 throught a 24 hour period
Temp 78.7
9.15 alk
545 cal
1237 mg
Reefer 250-2x AI Nero 5-1 cor 20-2x hydra 32.
installed a grounding probe 5 months ago because i was getting some stray voltage.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
