I’ve had this frag for quite awhile. Battled tank neglect cause life got in the way, used NoPox in June (great stuff, worked for me). Everyone did well except this guy. See first pic. After several months, much to my surprise, he came back with flying colors! I don’t know what this coral is, but the colors are blue/purple and green.
Now, getting white tips. See pic #2 Sometimes look brown, but I think that to be diatoms. The only change I’ve made in the last month is cutting back t5’s from 4 hrs to 2 hours cause I was getting baked on algae film on glass. I’ve bumped the t5’s back to the 4 hours.
Anyone have this issue with tips and turn out to be lighting?
Here’s my tank parameters:
90 gallon
Salinity - 1.026
Calc - 425
Alk - 8.7
Nitrate - 0
Phos - 1.45
Mag - 1480
Lighting - 2 Kessil AP700 - 7:30 am - 8:30pm, ramp up to 45% 10am -1pm; ATI bulbs on at 10am off at 2pm.
This is the only sps I have, never had good luck, even with “easy” birds nest. If not lighting, any other ideas?? Tank is LPS dominate, which all look happy.
thanks!
