Hi R2R! I have a 1 yr old 80 gallon deep blue shallow rimless tank with large hob refugium and 30 gallon sump and I am dosing BRS 2 part cal/alk and running bio pellets and skimming around the clock. Ive been reading on R2R and i see all the problems people are having with (ULNS) systems and loosing color and receding and Ive noticed some of my sps are loosing color but still growing just white sticks and I can see the tentacles but no color on the new growth. Ive been feeding heavy and i have roughly 15 fish and 3 pistol shrimp 2 cleaner shrimp and a fire shrimp along with roughly 100 hermits/snails.
water test results:
no3- 0.00 red sea
p04-0.00 hanna
alk 9.13 hanna
cal: 450 red sea
mag: 1380 red sea
What should i do? What am i doing wrong? Ive also been dealing with what looks like cyano growing on my rocks and my zoas are not growing and receding also. i have dosed flurish nitrogen in the past when i first started the tank but i didnt have 20 peices of sps at that time and i dont want to kill any of them please help.
