Well, I am new to reefing but have spared no expense
Tank is a Red Sea reefer 450
With all the goodies
Kessil a360x
Full apex with trident system
Red Sea skimmer
Exotech m1 and mp40’s
Auto water change system, 1.5 gallons every night
Usually
8.2
440
1350
No3 was around 25 for around 2 weeks recently got it down to 10
Phosphates same thing
Was .24 ish
Coming down now with the addition of a fuge project
Lights on about 9 hours maybe 5 hours at 80% power and the rest it’s ramping up and down
Flow is set to nutrient export mode
On the mp40’s so it’s very turbulent st times and calm during others.
8 fish all doing great. 2 BTA Also doing great.
Etc etc
Water parameters are pretty steady , dosing kalkwasser 50ml per day
Corals are not doing that great despite my best efforts
Most of them
Are loosing color but seem to have decent polyp extension
The green slimmer has good polyps but has turned more pale
The birds nest still has good color and has even had some growth. But seems to have lost some flesh??
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance
