Hi!
I got back from vacation last week after being gone for 6 days and during that time parameters slipped. Phosphate hit 2.0, Nitrates were at 20, and alkalinity was down at 6.5ish.
I've got that corrected now:
pH - 8.2
Alk - 9dKh
NH3 - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 0
Phosphate - <1ppm and dropping (I fed heavy, so it's difficult to drop...)
Temp - 77-80 all day
Calcium - ~460ppm (No Mag test yet, sorry)
Salinity - 35ppt
Lots of flow (two MP40's w/ Iwaki MD-70RLT return) and 6 month old Elos SpectraChrome 20K lamps and a Radium 20K lamp on a 11hr photoperiod.
My question is this: What are the odds that my big Aussie Table Acro is going to come back? The pic makes it look really really hideous and that the whole right side is bleached, but that is inaccurate. Most tips are bleached back about .25" except for where it is close to the rock. It has not gotten worse since I got my water under control. Where it isn't bleached, it has good polyp extension. All thoughts are appreciated, thanks!
