I've got a 90g reef tank that has been pretty neglected the past 6 months or so. Not really any water changes in the past 3 months, no Ca/Alk dosing, or much maintenance at all. I'm trying to clean things up. Some things are doing well as always (long tentacle anemone, frogspawn, hammer), but a couple others are struggling.
Some basic specs:
90g standard tank
50lbs live rock
EuroReef Skimmer
ATI Sunpower 48" fixture w/ 3 ATI blue plus, 1 GE daylight, 2 ATI Aquablue special
Refugium w/ cheato
BRS reactor with ROX carbon and GFO
Vortech mp20 and Korilla 3
Water Specs (Salifert):
SG 1.026
Alk 7
Ca 380
Mg 1200
Ph, Nitrates unkown (test kits completely out of date)
The lighting cycle is 10 hours with the aquablue lights and 8 hours with all 6 bulbs on. I've done basically no maintenance for 6 months except for cleaning skimmer every couple weeks (sometimes would be overflowing) and changing GFO/carbon maybe once a month.
Yesterday I did a 20% water change, dosed some Ca/Alk, zapped about 1000 aptasias, and cleaned up the sandbed. Things look alot better except these:
The first one used to be all shades of purple, but has been slowing turning green over the past couple months. The second one I got when it was already struggling. It is starting to die off. Any suggestions?
