So, things have not been going well lately, and I’m unsure what I’m doing wrong and I’m I. that maybe this isn’t for me level of frustration.
180 gallon DT, fuge with skimmer, socks, and cheato run opposite my Reef Breeders lights. Skimmer runs 16 hours a day because I’ve been trying to pick my phosphates up a bit in the past 4 weeks.
My lyretail recently died, 4 days ago. Was previously looking perfectly healthy as far as I could see. Jewel damsel had tail damage, but no spots I could see and was swimming roughly last night. As of when I got home, I can no longer find it, checked everywhere. No clue what happened, doubt my CUC hit it that quickly.
Recently had a brown algae breakout, I don’t know what’s causing it. Tank is on an auto water changer, about 12 gallons in and out a week.
Levels are in the pic, salt is at 1.024, I’m working on slowly getting it up to 1.026.
Saw some spots on my Caribbean tang a couple days ago, now it appears to have gone to my black clowns with some abrasion on the smaller on. I don’t want to lose anymore fish, I feel terrible. I have another tank and can set up a QT, but HAVE to go on a trip for 4 days Thursday morning, so I’m freaking out right now everything is going to hell right now.
I’m at a loss, I need help please! And thank you so much for any helpful replies.
