My trachy

[Deborah Armay]

Does my new trachy look okay? First time having this coral.
parameters are as follows:
Ph 8.1
Alk 10
Phosphates have been high. Was running GFO but switched to Pho’s xtra to phosphate remover measured this am .50
Ca 500
Mg 1300
Nitrates 5
90 gal with refugium, sock filtered, protein skimmer, MP 40 and MP 10, radion lighting
Temp 79.2
Trachy has been in the same spot since I bought it. Bottom of the tank in low flow area. I did find out that my RO/di system was not filtering right. I sent it in for repair and started using store bought RO/DI water
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks ok but slightly unhappy.

Possible concerns:
How was it acclimated?

CA a little high- Max 450
Nitrates a little high

Lights are bright. Go to acclimation mode for about a week
Moderate light therafter and moderate water flow
