Its not doing well at all, if you don't correct the issue's it will die.

The first thing glaring at me is the alk of 7 which is lower than most (if not all) reef tanks.

The rock also looks very clean. Torch coral is not really a beginner coral and usually does better in more matured systems.

I see. How do u suggest i correct this issue?

I already dose some sodium bicarbonate yesterday, trying to raise the kh bit by bit.

How bout my Mg? Is it too low?

The rock is very clean because i just added it in just like 2 days ago. But too be fair the tank was set up for like only 4 months.

I would keep trying to raise your alk. Usually the minimum is 8dkh.

Yes your Mg is low also. What is your salinity and how are you measuring it?
For now you can use epsom salt to raise Mg.

Salinity is at 1.025 using refractometer

Any precautions for epsom salt? Is food grade is ok?

 

[Shirak]

Food grade is fine. How are you calibrating your refractometer?
