I have had a nuvo fusion 20 set up for about a year now and needed some help. I have a clownfish, cardinal, fire shrimp, around 8 crabs and 5 snails. Running no protein skimmer... just a refugium, filter media and a radion light.
Decided to start with a zoa as my first coral about a month ago. After dipping and placing on the sand bed, it shriveled up and has not come back out since. I have placed it in low light, high light, low flow, high flow. Does anyone know what is wrong with the coral? I will place parameters below.
Salinity: 35 ppm
Temperature: ranges from 77-79 F
pH: 8.3
Nitrate: 0
Calcium: 470 - 490
Magnesium: 1410
ALK: 8.6
