Hey peps..
So here it is.. 90G BARE BOTTOM tank. running for a while.. (6 months).. before it was 55G BARE BOTTOM tank which got transferred to 90G.
Water param.:
Alk - 8 dhk
Cal - 440
Mag - 1360
I am also running small amount.. maybe half cap bio pellets.. and also about 3-4 TBS of GFO High Capacity Ferric Oxide.
I am using salt mix of Red Sea Coral Pro and Tropic Marine Bio Actif. I am mixing them together.. half and half? May that be a problem?
All my sps and lps showing tissue retraction (mostly LPS).. and SPS simply STN.. slowly but finally killing coral at the end.. some of the corals which lost tissue already have algae growing on them..
I do not know what else to do? It is going for last 2-3 months.. and there is no good signs.. I do weekly water changes of 5G.. I make my own RO/DI water..
On the other hand.. all my SOFT corals are doing well.
Can my 5 yrs old purple goniopora will be the problem and realising toxins?
Any input welcome.. I am so close to sell everything and be over with this hobby if I cant get it back on right track.
