Hey all,
I have a 100 gallon IM Marine mixed reef tank with approximately 20 to 30 gallons in the sump. It has been up and running for about 4 months now but had rock transferred from my other system which was up for about 2 years.
I notice some of my corals end up dying ogg slowly for no apparent reason, which others flourish and grow almost daily. Reefbreeders photon 48 v2 for lighting. Reef octopus skimmer
I have had 2 plates die on me in the past 2 weeks out of random. The one I had for 2 years also. Could too much flow cause issue?
Also have a mini colony of jkr rainbow on my frag rack which is doing great! But the frag from the exact same colony, Is dull and has almost a grey look to it. The frag was fully encrusted and looked great at one point. I also kept the frag right next to the colony. I also can't keep millis alive for crap.
I have plenty of other sps such as montis, walt disney, shortcake, pink caddy, cherry bomb, ect, which are doing great. What could be some issues causing these things to happen to some corals? I have a doser with doses alk and cal daily and I dose potassium nitrate (stump remover) every 4 or 5 days due to my nitrates bottoming out if I don't. My levels are as followed:
Nitrate 4-8ppm red sea
Phos .04 to .08 hanna
Mag. 1450 red sea
Alk 7.8 to 8.2 red sea
Cal 450 redsea
Salinity 1.025 refractometer
