[Armydogracing]

Can you post a full tank shot picture?

What do you have for flow?

What size of tank?

 

[ReefPrincess423]

Leathers will close up with high alk also...

What are your levels

Calcium
Alk
Mag

Give me a second, (I'm slow moving because I have lymes disease), but I'll test them now

 

[Armydogracing]

I'm not familiar with that but take your time no rush

Lol okay it's the disease when u get bitten by a tick

 

[ReefPrincess423]

Btw which test is better Red Sea or Salifert?

 

[Armydogracing]

Oh gotcha

Also check the dates on your test kits. They should have an expiration date somewhere. You said you use salifert, Red Sea, and API?

 

[Armydogracing]

I personally like salifert better

I use API for the ammonia, nitrates n nitrites. And I have both Salifert and Red Sea to test the others. I'll use Salifert today to test since I've been testing for the past two months with Red Sea.

So........ the anemone is bleached. there are no healthy bubble tips that are white. did you buy it this color? low no3 won't necessarily bleach an anemones ,but high no3 and/or po4 could cause it to become unhealthy in several ways. stop trying to feed it, don't touch it, just get your po4 down. it's not dead......yet and it can be saved.

Is that the fluval marine and reef 2.0? That's what I'm running on my tank and my rainbow bubble tip is very happy. I have w standard 29 and he rest on the bottom of the tank near the sand and seems to get plenty of light. Was the nem white when you bought it? If so then he was bleached from the get go and already in poor shape.

Yes it is a fluval marine 2.0

I'd get your mag up to 1350

Alk imo is a bit to high

I still don't think those lights are good enough for a reef tank especially a 90g

 

[Armydogracing]

Unless you have everything 6"-8" from the light I'd say it's not enough for nems or sps in a 90g

@Armydogracing I'm going to buy new lights. How do I lower my alkalinity??????? I can raise the mag.

 

[Armydogracing]

It will go down on its own with your water changes and as the sps and lps use it

You can get 2 dimmable Chinese leds on eBay for like $120. I personally run a t5/led hybrid

Can you explain to me what a t5/led hybrid is?!

 

[Armydogracing]

I have an 8 bulb coralvue t5/ 3w per royal blue led built in then I added 4 24" full spectrum led bars each led is 3w
