Hello fellow reefers,
I have a bit of a mystery in my reef tank.
Here is some background:
180g, established. New lights installed a couple months ago along with a Monti plate. I was running Radiant on Radion g5xr Pro x5 started at 40%, ramped up to 50%. Most of my hard corals are let's say doing poorly.
Water Chem:
1.024/1.025
Nitrates 10-20
Phosphates (Hanna) 0.2-0.3, controlled with Brightwell . (still fighting)
Now, the vertical side of the Monti turned Snow White, it is away from the flow
The flat , horizontal part, may have lost a bit of color but not white
What is my problem here?
Phosphates? Too much light? Not enough light? not enough flow?
Obviously there is a problem... So I am trying to bring down phosphate and changed my radion template to the SPS AB+ at 50% (lights at 10-11 inches above water)
Any help is appreciated !
