Hi all. One of my trachy’s started to close up earlier today and now half of the flesh is just hanging off. I’ve had it for about six months with no problems.
40 breeder. My parameters are all in good range. Ca and mg are generally higher but have gone down the last month (I haven’t been keeping an eye on those lately).
Po4. .04
No3. 10
Sal 1.025
Ca. 400
Mg. 1320
Some of my other LPS has been shrinking/receding a bit in the last day or so. I also have been having algae lately. Some black and green I believe cyno on rocks. I’m going to buy a replacement UV bulb tomorrow and clean the inside of sterilizer. I’ve had it for probably a year or so and haven’t cleaned it yet.
Wondering if leathers could have anything to do with it? Maybe released toxins? I just unclogged carbon/gfo reactor as I do about every seven days.
Thanks for reading!
