Hi fellow reefers,
Besides Alk swings, what are some reasons SPS corals can get translucent tips after signs of growth?
My 200g (160g display and 40g sump) has been up for 1 year and 8 months now. Some of my SPS higher in the tank are having this issue and I am not able to find the root cause.
Here are my current numbers:
Alk: 8.1
Ca: 410
NO3: 2
PO4: .03
Mg: 1400
Salinity: 1.026
pH: 8.1 to 8.4 depending on the time
Dosing ESV B-Ionic throughout the day using Neptune DOS.
10% weekly water change using Tropic Marin Pro.
Running four Radion XR30w G4 Pros at 50% using RMS mounts which have not been changed since first setting up the tank.
Waiting for results of another Triton ICP and N-DOC tests. Did it three months ago and nothing out of the ordinary showed up except low iodine.
Started using Coral Vitalizer and Amino Acid Concentrate from Korallen-Zucht 12 days ago to see if it will help. So far I’m just seeing more polyp extension from most of my SPS, LPS, and soft corals.
