Hi,
My torch coral has been looking unhappy for the past two weeks.
It used to look like this:
Now, it looks like this with polyps that are really retracted:
The only change I made was adding a few cups of aragonite sand for a yellow wrasse. Then, of course, my phosphate level dropped to 0 ppm. After two weeks of trying to raise the phosphate to a detectable level by adding more food to the tank, I wasn't successful. Today, I prepared a tri-sodium phosphate solution and raised the phosphate to 0.03 ppm with it.
Any ideas on how I can help her?
Other parameters:
Sal 1.026
Ph 8.0
Nitrate 8
Phos was 0, now 0.03 we will see for how long
Cal 44o
Mag 1480
Alk 8.2
Temp 25.5C
I dose AFR daily.
