Hello, im Lars 21 years old from Holland.
I have a problem, my acropora's continue to die but I can not figure out what the problem is ...
the tips of my acropora as you can see in the picture begin to lose their tissue. The other
acropora looks even worse from all tips are white and the polyps stand
not off. they are in there for 2 weeks and seemed to recover first from a broken tip but suddenly it stopped repairing and started to die. Does anyone know what's wrong here? I have the idea that something very small is missing so that they slowly die.
here some information about my tank
1. Contents of the aquarium: 250L 100x50x50
2. Contents of the filter trough: 40 L
3. How do you keep the calcium levels up to standard ?: Dosing unit
4. Do you use a phosphate filter (what kind of, what kind of media, how often / long) ?: Carbon (DRS Dutch Synthetic Reefing")
5. Do you use ozone or UV ?: yes
6. What type of skimmer do you use (brand, type) ?: aqua medic turboflotor blue 1000
7. How often do you clean the skimmer (not so much as emptying cup) : once a month
8. What are the temperature, salinity, pH, KH, nitrate and phosphate (and possibly nitrite, calcium, magnesium values?): Salt content is 1024
kh 10
nitrate 2
nitrite 0
phosphate 0.01
calcium 480
magnesium 1450
Temperature 25.6 degrees
9. What extra filters do you use? (carbon filter, refugium, pot filter, sand filter ...): bag and activated carbon
10. What kind of lighting do you use?
4x 39 Watt t5 ati and ctlite 3G runs at 25%
11. How much flow do you have exactly ?: jebao rw8 8000 l / h and 2 x pumps of 2000l / h each. Total 12000 l / h
12. What kind of corals do you like? Sps, leather, buttons.
13. What kind of fish do you like ?:
Ctenochaetus tominiensis
Siganus vulpinus
Nemo 2x
Acreichthys Tomentosus
Anampses lineatus
Paracanthurus hepatus
Synchiropus splendidus
14. How long has the system been running for 4 years?
15. How much living stone do you have ?: And how old is it ?: 20 kilos 1 year old.
16. What do you add (what, why, how much, how often) ?: Carbon 2ml per day, p04 2.5 ml per day, NO3 2ml per day.
17. Which brand of salt do you use ?: coral pro salt
18. What do you do (and how many and how often) ?: 2 blocks of frozen food per day.
19. What problems did you abandon the problem in the question? Actually none, buttons and leather corals do just fine. Sps corals slowly die.
