It has been a while since I posted my tank info and since then have done a lot of changes.
This is my setup.
55gal 24" high
30gal sump
55gal
Jabeo RW-8 (2 other power heads in tank are not on and will be removed)
80lbs rock
40lb argonite sand
Current-USA 4103 / 48" - 60" / 46.8 x 3.5 x 0.44 / 46 Watts / 96 Dual Daylight/96 Dual Actinic LEDs, 192 LEDs Total
30gal sump
Eshopps PF300 Overflow Box
Coral Vue Technology AC20284 Octopus
I have 2 corals (1 died)
I have a group of zoa's that are doing good. Staying open and having growth. The other I am not sure what it is. It was doing good for about 3 weeks and then started turning white. The only thing that I noticed that was off was my nitrates. They were at 25-30. I did a 10% water change and reduced extra feeding to my 3 fish (clown, foxface, damsel) Here are my current readings as of this morning.
PH - 7.8
Ammonia - 0 - .25ppm (in between colors)
Nitrite - 0ppm
Nitrate - 10ppm
Calcium - 380
Carbonite - 12dkh
Mag - 1470-1500
Alk - 1.026 (used refractometer)
Temp - 76.5
I was told to reduce the intensity and timing of my light. Was running the 10 hour full intensity. I went down to 10 hour white - 35% / blue - 90%. That was also the same time as the water change and can't say the coral is getting better but it isn't getting any worse. I am target feeding it the mysis cloudy water portion.
Anyone know what to do to correct this?
You can see from one picture where my coral started dying off. That one completely went white. The other coral is starting with the same issue but I think I might have stopped it from progressing.
The one picture was taken with my phone so the detail isn't too great. The first coral went completely white.
