This picture is from today:
the furthest left anemone and the bottom right anemone are slowly losing the tips of their tentacles and much of their color (not bleaching as much just turning dull). What is frustrating is the larger nem in the middle still looks great (iPhone pic sorry if these are hard to distinguish) I have had all my nems for several months now and the system is over a year old.
The two looking bad are in the bottom of this picture I took a few months ago (I have done some re-arrangning):
The tank is a 60 cube and they are under Kessil a350w tuna blue.
Parameters (condensing the last months data):
Nitrates: 2-6 from week to week
Phosphates: .02-.07
Calcium: 420-445
Mag: 1440-1500 (Spiked somewhere along the way)
Alk: 6-9 (Had a sudden drop go unnoticed not too long back typically sits at 8.4 and swings slightly following a water change)
SG: 1.026
The nems have been in their current location 1.5 months approx, water changes done every 9 days in the amount of 18 gallons. Sump holds 12 gallons, bh90 reef octopus skimmer, rarely dose but when I do it is with seachem two part dose as that is the salt I use.
