Torch help

[Shirak]

I watched the video. Flow looks good. Yes hair algae.. Young tank is still going through phases it looks like. GHA is one of them. I would not run nutrients so low. Quite a bit of white skeleton showing on many of the torches from what I can see.

Bottoming out nutrients and you run the risk of Dino outbreak. Better off to increase CuC, maybe some turbos snails. They will go after the hair algae, more hermits perhaps. The Astrea I see won't touch the gha or siphon out the hair algae or get in there with a tooth brush and let the filtration. Tang perhaps or some other gha eating fish.

Alternative is treating with reefFlux aka fluconazol
It's very effective and won't hurt anything else. Unless you are trying to grow macro algae. Then you have to remove it so it doesn't get wacked too.

Yes, dosed No3 and PO4a couple of times, but still battling GHA.

PO4 is 0.02 and NO3 is 1 this morning

Nitrates did drop this morning to 0.8 so dosed that today. Unfortunately had a separate issue causing a massive fish loss, so tank is near the end of fallow period. Any future CUC additions will go through a fish-less qt period. I do have a pincushion urchin as well.

Sadly looks like the other torches are tracked today. Not sure if should pull them and do a dip.

Oh no... i have heard that in some rare cases, corals can fail to acclimate to a new environment and die with nothing that can be done about it, and is something that you just move on from, but I would for sure keep trying. Not sure if a dip would solve the problem but come to think of it, there could also be some parasite that is eating away at the coral's tissue causing it stress, and harm. So if you ever find out if that is the case, then you would want to dip the coral. I wish you luck!

Edit: You said your other corals are also retracted? If so, that makes be believe further of the possibility of disease, or parasite, since you had previously said that initially, your other torches were doing just fine.
