Hi all.
My SPS’s have been in my QT tank for roughly a week. (Stylophora + Birdnest)
They initially opened up beautifully and good polyp extension.
I don’t know whether I’ve a lighting issue which I think is the problem!
On my display tank I’ve a Ecotech radion, my frag tank has not got this due to budget. It’s fair to say that the lighting on my frag tank..... is rubbish. It’s a cheap LED light from online.
From yesterday......My corals look annoyed!.... they’re not opening their polyps much at all. My parameters..... I check EVERYDAY as I’ve been slowly bringing up CA,MG and KH. I can’t stick them in the display tank atm because I’ve been having a lot of precipitation and now requires dosing- attempting to stabilise this throughout the week.
In the QT tank parameters
(And currently stable) ...
KH- 9.1
Ca- 420
Mg-1500
Salinity - 1025
Temp 25c
Display tank......
KH- 7.6 (Drops in a week to 6.6)
Ca - 380-390
Mg- 1170
Salinity - 1025
Temp 25c
Hope someone can help me figure
this out
