I have to agree with pitstop. .
In addition I will add that it isn't always a piece of cake . It has taken a large commitment on my part to keep up with keeping things stable and in the right areas.
I have a question for you ..... Do you know your tanks average daily consumption of alk and calcium? What about temperature swings ?How big are they ?
How long have you been able to keep your longest living acro ?
What is your true routine ?
Waterchanges and %?
Do you change your flow every once in a while ?
Do you blow off your rocks ?
Do feed heavy ?
Nitrates and nitrites?
Do any other corals besides sps show any stress at times?
Carbon yes /no?
Ro water or or di or other?
Do you siphon detritus?If so how often?
What kind of flow ?
Also I just notice you have a corallife unit .....What wattage and distance from the water?
Sorry I really don't like those light because of output and reflector design it lacks intensity IMO.
I am glad to help you find the source or help you in the right dirrection. You have seen my tank and its only been up a year now although I have been keeping sps longer and in many tanks . I have to be doing something right and would be glad to share any and all of my experiences with you to help .
Also where did you get your rock ? Was it from a store or a local person type thing?
What about the tank is it glass?Was it bought new? Same with other equipment with rubber or silicone?
Additives you add if any ?
feel free to answer all or none
