For help in keeping them alive....
Stable parameters, proper amount of light. About all you can do.
I am trying my best to keep everything stable. My light is no higher than 300 par on any of the rocks (radion g5s & t5s), x3 mp40 on 90% RC mode.
they all look pretty new and a bit stressed. If they were just added thats normal, but, if they've been in the tank a while, there may be a stressor. Has your alkalinity remained stable? what are your phosphates?
They been in over 10 days. My alk has slowly risen to just under 8 to 9 over the course of 2 weeks, not sure why given I stopped dosing. I do have enough nutrients (I think) for alk that high (PO4 is now 0.08 & NO3 are 18).
Could just be adjusting then. My advice for new frags and new sps systems in general is don’t over strip the water with too much carbon, gfo etc. Doesn’t matter what your po4 Hanna reader measures.
Should I stop with carbon right now? GFO (only 1 cup stripped my PO4 from .27ish to 0.08 in a couple days). Only reason I care to lower them is because I am battling turf algae and don’t want to fuel it more.
