I started a reefer 350 in October 2019
I used Carib Sea life rock and live sand. Cycled the tank with Dr Tim’s. My equipment is a nyos 160 skimmer . 2x mp 40. 2x kessil 360x for lighting and return is a vectra. I have around 10 very healthy fish since around November. I slowly added a few corals around December. A gorgonian and a pipe organ coral. Also a rose bubble tip They are still thriving and growing. Almost everything else I have added slowly fades off and dies. Ive tried some lps and a few of the easier sps and everything just dies. I can’t figure out what I’m missing. My parameters are:
Alk 8.3
Cal 420
P04 .03
N03 5
Salinity 1.025
Everything stays pretty stable. There are no coral eating fish in the tank.
The lighting is controlled by the kessil controller x. 12 hour cycle. The highest intensity is set for around 75% for 4 hours. Not sure if it’s lighting or what at this point. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
