I would just to check if it clears within 24 hrs. I would wait also for ammonia and nitrites to zero out first, then raise it up again.

Day #26 (1 Month Old :celeb2
Parameters Today
Salinity - 1.024 (need to raise)
PH - 8.0
Ammonia - 0 ppm
Nitrite - 0 ppm
Nitrate - 10 ppm (will be doing a water change on Tuesday)
Phosphate - 0 ppm
Calcium - 380 ppm
Alkalinity - 10 DKH
Spotted some baby feather dusters on one of my rocks and more coralline is spreading on more rocks! Diatoms are also gone from the sand bed since I added the PhosGuard and of course my CUC. :fun4: GSP will be here Tuesday so I'm doing the water change then.
Here is a comparison of my Xenia's growth
First day

My plans for the future (Might change depending on how corals behave)

Actually, studies show that caorals metabolize better at higher temperatures, 78° is an old baseline.

Do you guys know of any bright and colorful torch corals? I want to place a really colorful one on the right side of my tank. :celeb2:

Lion fish are not common in reef tanks ime. I was talking about coral although. :bum:

So I did some reading today. For growth it is recommended to be at temps ranging from 80-82. For color it is recommended in the 76ish range. I guess the 78 is to be in the mix between color and growth...

an aussie torch. Just be mindful that as it grows those tentacle will sweep out and could bother other corals.

My standard torch is out of control. Has quadrupled in size since I got it late December. Going to have to move it to the back. They can take a lot of flow, very fun to look at.
Oh that was a reply to soulpatch.
But anyways, lionfish are just an example.
Firefish too, operates better at 29 degrees. Same as Clowns. In fact, survival rates of Clown babies are higher at higher temperatures. They tested 37 degrees, and not only can the babies survive at that temperature, they did it best. Similarly with growth - optimal at 33 degrees.

And other colorful torches?
