So I've added a few SPS - stags, digi and milli mainly. They have been in the system for almost 2 weeks. I woke up yesterday to a couple of them turning white around the base. I did a water change and checked the lighting PAR with Seneye yesterday. May have been a little light-starved at around 180-200 PAR, but I wouldn't think that would kill them so quickly. I was "acclimating" in Mobius up to 400 PAR on top of rocks. Well, I threw that out the window and just set them to desired final intensity now.
Flow is 2 MP40s, set to 40% ReefCrest/Tidal Swell during day and Lagoon at night. This can't be the issue, unless it's too much flow?
I wake up this morning and it's progressed a little, not as bad as the first morning though. Parameters are below and tank has been stable for months now. Coraline Algae growing everywhere. I'm not sure what is going on. I've ordered an ICP test, so maybe that will shed some understanding on anything that's out of wack.
Any input is greatly appreciated. I don't know what I'm doing wrong!!?
PH - 7.75 - 7.95 (seneye)
dKH - 8.7 (hanna)
Amm - 0.001 (seneye)
NO3 - 8 ppm (RS Pro)
Sal - 1.026 (hanna)
Temp - 78 (hanna)
Ca - 445 ppm (hanna)
PO4 - 0.08 ppm (hanna)
Mg- 1425 ppm (RS Pro)
I dose around 10ml BRS soda ash daily for Alk.
I dose NoPox around 8ml every two days for nutrient control.
Alk did get down to 8.5 yesterday,but I wouldn't think that kind of swing would have such a dramatic impact?
Any suggestions?
