Someone help me please!!! Millie problems

[James404]

I believe cyclopeeze is too big to be beneficial to SPS, it would be better to feed oyster eggs or rotifers.

2nd the rotifers. I feed them once a week at night to my sps.

Couple of additional questions. How long has your tank been up and running? Is this a wild colony? What are your temperature swings like from night to day? Do you know what your ph is? There is a direct correlation between Alk, CA, ph and Mg. I would personally use Elos or Salifert test kits. I have never had luck with API, maybe its just me. Also are you using an Auto Top Off to keep the salinity stable. In my experience Milles are sometimes the first to show signs of stress. I would do another check for redbugs and AEFW.

Hi Ostentun...here the info...I put another info to complete the board

Another information:

1- This reef is running since november.
2- No. It isn´t a wild colony
3- My temperature swings in less than .5 celcius degrees...normaly 26.2 to 26.6
4- Personally I reaaly trust in my API tests because during the first months I check than with Elos test kits too. My Mg test is Salifert
5- I have a auto top off water system....I don´t have any swing in my salinity (the system works with less than 300 ml)
6- My Ph is 8.2..Hanna phmeter
7 - I use Ro/Di water...tested with hanna conductimeter.
8- I really tring hard to found some dammed bug here...I search for than every day...many times a day....with eyes nakked and some lenses...but I canot find none...
9- I use Brightwell salt
10- I use Two part Randy´s adictives
11- I use GAC (TLF) passively
12- I use zeolites (Neozeo passively)
13- I don´t use GFO
14- I never had any algal problem...just diatoms in the first 15 days
15- I use Barebotton
16- I fed my fishs 2 or 3 times a day
17- I use 10 hours photoperiod for blues and 8 hours for whites
18- The other sps like the tortuosa turcoise are almost totally brown before I put in my reef
19- I have some coral grow...it´s not a huge grow...but I have some.
20- I never lost a frag or a colony for any reason in this reef...yet
21- I use mb7 (stopped for now)
22- I use vodca (stopped for now)
23- I use Cyclop eeze
24- My circulation is composed by two koralias 750 oposed each other
25- My skimmer is a custon skimmer ..and this model is sized to 1000 l

I think this is every information...

What should I do???????

1) Wait...reduce my vodca to .8 and use aminoacids every day???
2) Try Oyster eggs????
3) Change the millie position?????
4) prey????

Thank you so much guys!!!!! It´s good to know that I have your advice!!!!

D. Can I get an up-date on your milli issue? I'm running into the same problem with all 7 of my millis.

My Millie is doing the same. Loss of color while other corals do great. My conclusion is to much light. To me it looks like your Millie is very high and close to your light. I would move it quite a bit lower and let it recover.
