Ro/di has high silicon. Probably need to change the filters again.

changed the lighting to use the World Wode Corals LPS lagoon template and dropped the schedule to 40%.

Next step is a 30g water change. Keeping the lights tuned down and mostly blues. Will continue to monitor for a few more weeks and if no improvement then it’s snot meant to be and I put the setup on the curb.

Did a 30g water change last week no change in response so far. One colony of Zoas is open. The colony next to it won’t open anymore. other colonies barely open.

1 hammer single head. Opens but no growth in months. I have a devils hand that opens but has not grown in a year. 2 mushrooms that don’t grow/split.

All other hammers, torches, frogspawns are gone.

Snails, crabs fish appear ok.

Changing the lights to a bluer setting has not change anything in the tank. I know things take time but I don’t see any change at all.

If the ICP test shows nothing. Coraline algae has covered everything. Fish live. I guess it can only be the lighting. Either I spend $600 on a PAR meter or maybe replace the lights. Or figure out how to tune them.

I would love for a fellow reefer in the area to come by and give me their thoughts or what I am missing here.
