Hello, this tank is around 5 months old, went through the various algae blooms, one happened because i got sick and couldn’t take care of the tank (someone else fed the tank). Well at the same time my ato decided it didn’t wanna work anymore and my salinity shot up and killed 2 of my corals with one in recovery. After that whole disaster though, the tank id teaming with copepods and everything is now stable again and I wanted to give sps a shot in this tank.
I used to have a biocube with thriving sps (mostly smooth skinned acros), not sure how they were growing so fast as i was still learning and didn’t even test much. Well now that im testing, my sps isnt doing so hot. It is a bali green slimer that i think is a somewhat new frag. Well its been around 5 days and it is really brown. I got it at night and it looked very green before lights out, the next morning it turned brown and had mesentrial filements which freaked me out.
The lights i have on it are hydra 32s and it is a 50 gallon tank with a sump, not sure how many gallons it is. I have a skimmer, uv, and biopellets running in it. Here is the water chem:
Dkh 7.2 (red sea)
Calcium 457 (hanna checker)
Magnesium 1350 (salifert)
Phos 0.4-0.7 (hanna checker)
Ph 8.2 (probe)
Nitrate 0.25 (salifert)
Ammonia 0 (red sea)
