So i've lost four acro frags in the last couple weeks. All STN from the base. This sucks. All my monti's and other corals are growing fine. The only acro that is doing great is my ORA purple plasma.
Water params today:
Sg: 1.026
pH: 8.0
Alk: 9.0kh
Ca: 435
Mg: 1400
PO4: 0.00
Temp: 78-79
All test were taking this morning before lights came on. I've been dosing 11ml of two part very consistently daily.

Your parms are good...unless they've been fluctuating lately. It's hard to get all parms stable in a small tank like ours. I do test more often now, twice a week, compare to my previous tank(57 gallons). Check for any bugs too...you never know.
Hope everything bounces back for you. Keep us posted.

I "have" to use a sock. Otherwise, the microbubbles from the skimmer would get into the display tank. Although I would prefer running without, it's not really a big deal "“ I bought a lot of them, and once I am on my last one I throw them in the washer.
(My drain goes into the same sock)
I replace the sock about once every two weeks.

The drain does not cause bubbles for me, but I just thought that if I have to use a sock for the skimmer anyway, I might as well just place the drain there as well – sump stays clean that way

Update!
Update!
This mushroom is nuts... found them browned out in a tank for $5
-As you can see, I steered away from SPS for awhile. They weren't holding up. Ill give my tank more time to mature before I add more of them.
Oh and the fish (one of each):
-All parameters are doing great. Finally getting my Alk in balance. Stays around 8.0 with dosing 5ml of 2 part daily. I do a 20% water change about once a month.
-I still don't have any coraline algae yet, I think i need to introduce it on a rock. And yes my Calcium stays around 440.

Nice tank, Nate. If I was to go 20g I'd get an ELOS. How's the Angel? Nipping any corals? That's a crazy looking 'shroom. Will be interesting to see how it ultimately colors up.

I really wish I wouldn't have looked at this thread! After a bunch of aggression from my coral beauty lately I decided to move it into a friends 315g and replace it with a potters angel! It's already on order at my LFS...
I hate it when other people's threads cost me money!!! :headwallblue: :mixed:
