Ok... Imma need some help here guys

[soccerbag]

Were you able to test for Phosphates? I agree with everything Lee said above. He seems to be on top of it so I will let him finish...lol.

I dont have a test kit for phosphates. They got high a little while ago then I started running phosguard and I'd regularly take it into my lfs to get it checked.So it has been down ever since I started doing that.

K here are b4 and after pics of the acan lord that im trying to revive. And also heres a pic of which way the pumps are facing for flow.

First picture looks like it needed help the bottom picture looks fabulous man what's wrong with that??? Or I got it back wards it came in like the bottom and now it's on the frag rack in bad shape??? Have you dipped it or anything?? Also careful up there with it they don't like to be blasted by lights neither does that chalice they will receed like you see in that first picture..

 

[Troylee]

Btw just peeped your fts love it man that's some great aquascape...;) get all that Lps off that rack thou that's half your problem... Other half I believe is related to a somewhat low mag level... Chalices I knownfor one thrive in high mag levels around 1500 to 1550 ppm

I had it on rack because They were on sandbed but I needed to get it off there so i could vaccume the sand. I havent dipped it..Should I??

hahahahaha thanks. We have three tanks i love the custom 330. we origionally had a halfwall there. We build it out and built the stand so it looked like part of the wall almost. its nice because its a double sided tank because one side is by the family room the other is by the kitchen. Which leaves double the space for corals :P

 

[Troylee]

so currently the acan looks like the picture in the sand or the rack?

 

[Reef Keeper 18]

it looks like the pic on the rack. It used to look like the pic in the sand

 

[Reef Keeper 18]

Would you suggest dipping the acan??

 

[m and m]

I would suggest moving all those acans and chalices to the sand bed. They might be getting to much light. If this was my tank I would mix a back of water 20% of the tank velum do the WC. Get all the corals out of that high of light and wait a day or two and then test ALK/CAL/MAG and if my mag is still low raise it by manual dosing a little. I think its a combination of irritation to the coral in such high light and low mag thats doing it. IN the 12's is where LPS normally gets really unhappy. I mean but I have seen people post it lower.

Also if you can feed at night might help a little but i Doubt if there that stressed they will take food.

 

[subielover]

No I wouldn't dip it. I would place it in a shaded area and try to feed it some mysis shrimp.

I moved all the acans and chalices yesterday. They werent on the frag rack for long a couple hours. I did move them into a more shaded area under the rocks. But still getting light
