This is the best phone my phone can mustard
This thread is a CONTINUATION of my past threads of my issues with certain zoas being closed for weeks. A complete MYSTERY to me.
I encourage you to ZOOM IN on the above pic [which is a perfect example of my issues] and put your eyes on any potential red flags I'm not seeing
Again.....
* My lights are right at 75-100 PAR, mainly 420-470nm
* My flow is light, just a whisper
* My calc (400ish), ALK (9ish) and Mag (1400ish) all checkout
* My NO3 (around 10) and PO4 (around 0.2-0.3) checkout
* My temp is a rock solid 78
* I dose TM BactoBalance every morning at 5ml to manage no3/po4
* My daily fish feedings are mysis mixed with reefroids in the AM and Nori on a clip that was soaked briefly in Boyd's VitaChem
* My tank is well aerated with a skimmer with an outside air line feeding it, I also have an airtube feeding my DT vortex pushin gentle microbubbles
First 1ft of a 6ft tank
* i dose 5ml of SeaChems Iodide every other day
* I dose 1-2 drops of Lugols Iodine every OTHER night
* I brew my own Tetraselmis phyto and dose about 4ozs every other night
* @PeterC99 has encouraged me to put a Sochting Oxydator in the tank to increase avail O2. The shipment is OTW.
Areas I'm uncertain:
* pests. I have no idea if some creepycrawly thing is coming out at night and irritating things. BUT! 80% of my zoas are great, just SELECT 20% just struggle, W E I R D
* some select bacterial infection only effecting the sekect zoas that are closed. I have no knowledge on how to even investigate that.
* Some unknown element in my tank which is going to take a ICP test.
Thoughts?
Here's picture of zoas palys going JUST FINE
Hazy pics bc I just fed the tank reefroids
