My tank has seen 6 months of... neglect to say the least. It’s currently an eye sore to me. It’s *covered* in aptasia, has some what I think is cyano, and GHA, and has corals that experienced STN. My new goal is to turn this around and bring it back to what it used to be; something I was proud of.
Just tested my parameters, they are as follows
my current dosing schedule (set since Jan 2021) is
3.4 mL alkalinity daily
3.0 mL calcium daily
7.5 mL of nopox daily
I have phosphate rX on hand as well as a new box of salt (Fritz Reef Pro Mix).
my current fish stocking is my clownfish, a Benghaii cardinal, and a biota mandarin dragonet.
I have a Cadlight Aquarium PLS-50 skimmer and a Santa Monica 3.0+ algae scrubber that isn’t growing any algae. I’m down to a couple fish as they have slowly died 1 by 1 with no indication, and I purchased a couple nets to try to catch my clownfish to do a FW dip to check for flukes, per the advice of HumbleFish.
I ordered aptasia eating nudibranchs a couple weeks or so ago and have seen no signs of progress - I’m guessing one of the three shrimp ate them.
Where do I go from here? Just start changing water like a madman?
Also all corals are closed like this every night and then open back up on the day.
