Curious if there were any thoughts on why these guys aren’t opening all the way? It’s not bad but I’m overly cautious these days after loosing $1,500 of torches in my old tank (I’m assuming it was Alk instability but not sure still). Tank is a month old. Was a cloudy until the diatoms came but they seem to have gone away and the cloudiness returned which I’m just attributing to new tank syndrome.
Nitrates: ~10ppm (salifert)
Phosphates: 0.12 PPM (Hanna - this was zero for most the time and shot you after diatoms seems to go away)
Alk: 8.24 (trident)
Calc: 467 (trident)
Mag: 1345 (trident)
Lighting is 2x XR15 Blue running AB+ at 66%.
Filtration is filter floss roller, quantum 160, and soon to be algae reactor (first batch of chaeto died due to what I’m guessing is no phosphates).
