Hello,
Tank has been set up for almost 2 years.
parm's
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20 (has been that for 2 years)
The following 4 from salifert kits
Calcium 400
Alk 13
Mag 1100 ( I have been dosing to raise to 1250)
Stron 15
2 months ago I changed all the bulbs in the tank and cut back on the lighting to let then corals adjust. Slowly after this I got a brown film algae that began coating my sand bed. I keep all of my acan's on the sand bed as well. All of the sudden I began seeing white skelton's where the acan polyps were. A few of the acan's have been in the tank for 1 year. I lost a few frags in addition. I have added 100 blue leg hermits and they took care of the algae that was coating the sand, but I am still seeing some recession on the acan's.
I haven't added any fish that nip or anythng like that and I have been staring at the tank/fish trying to see if anything even swims near the acan's ....nothing.
Is there something that could be doing this, something esle I should be testing for??
Thanks in advance
