Hello reefers
This is Jose at Aqua-Ops and want to seek some advice from you mushroom heads. We have a few mushrooms that are bleached in one of the display tanks. The actions taht have taken the last couple months has been the following:
-less light
-less flow
-more light
-more flow
-dipped in iodine, chemi clean, coral rx
-does chemiclean in the system
And no luck : (
But did move them to a different system, the OG is recovering but the other few are not.. Please keep in mind that other mushrooms are doing great in the system... Also, lost a couple to being so small that they completely melted. On another note the acros are doing amazing..
Do they need dirtier water? lol
Current parameters in new system (mixed reef, most LPS)
Phosphates .04
Nitrates 6
Alk 8.22
CA 440
Mag 1318
PH 8.08
temp 77.9
Salinity 35.4
Current parameters in old system (heavy SPS, some LPS)
Phosphates .03
Nitrates 5.7
Alk 8.39
CA 456
Mag 1321
PH 8.1
temp 78.1
Salinity 35.5
Any pointers?
Here are some pics to see the bleaching...Also pics of the ones that are doing good.
