Hello everyone, I've been having zero issues keeping coral and even the ones that were having issues, I was able to diagnose and treat the problem. For some reason, I'm having huge issues with Gonis. Every Goni I get eventually closes up and starts to waste away. My tanks new relative to people who keep coral but I've had zero issues with anything else so far.
My parameters are as follows:
Salinity: 35 ppt
Ph: low of 7.97 and high of 8.22
(Hannah testers)
Nitrates: 5ppm (stays very consistent week to week)
Phosphates: .04 ppm (stays very consistent week to week)
(Trident testing system gives these numbers but have confirmed with hannah)
Alk: 8.9
Calcium: 490
Magnesium: 1310
I dose all for reef and do 5 gallon water changes bi-weekly with red sea coral salt (the salt with the lower alkalinity, not the red sea pro or whatever it is)
Run a nyos 120 Skimmer all day to increase ph and got rid of my refugium due to it bottoming out my nutrients.
I spot feed my corals with reef roids and mysis shrimp twice a week
Fish get pellets and inverts get sinking pellets.
I have three anemones doing fine, all my coral is doing fine, but the gonis start out fine, then slowly they just stop extending.
What am i missing here outside of keeping my ph more stable. I mean, even my stratospheres and gmks are doing great and those guys are known for melting.
Running 2 radion pro g5s. Any help is much appreciated.
