SPS/water Parameter Questions

[dwilliams87]

Ok, got a question for my SPS experts. I have several acro and monti corals in my 2 nano tanks. Some are really thriving, others are not. I don't really know what it could be. I have checked very closely for bugs and I have yet to find any. My water parameters from my knowledge seems to be great. Here they are:

Salinity 1.026
Alk 9
Calcium 450
Mag 1350
Phos .02
Amm 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate less than .05
ph 8.2

Thats both tanks. I do weekly water changes with aquavitro salinity salt. 10-15%. Is there anything you guys see or something I could/should be adding to help the SPS's? Anything helps, Thanks guys!

Try moving those corals down or turn lights down. Or you could be over skimming with a 75g rated.skimmer on a 20g.

I never suggest someone keep SPS corals in a nano. I have only seen a handful of people that were able to do this and their systems were very modified and automated because of dealing with a smaller water volume. Some SPS corals and very sensitive to the slightest changes. If some of them are doing good be very proud of that. I wish you the best.
