Nanoreef13 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Ok so one of my corals seems to be dying at the tips and one the skin peeled right off when I was feeding it. Both of these have been in my tank for approximately a month and a half And both are right next to each other. The one has been growing really well as you can see in the side by side picture. Then a few days ago I noticed that it started loosing color and the tips started to send out these long slime streamers. I can not see anything on the coral as of bugs. The only thing I can think of is I started dosing Fusion 1&2 about a month ago and I also added a bio pellet reactor and added half of the recommended amount of bio pellets. These have both been working for a month with no issues. Below are my parameters. Ammonia - 0 Nitrate - 5 Nitrite - 0 Phosphate - .03 Salinity - 35 Calcium - 420 Alkalinity- 8.2 ( I have been raising this from 4.8 over the last month very slowly.) Magnesium - 1440 PH - 8.0 at night and 8.3 during the day Par 250-260 Temp 76.9-77.6 Lights 2 Radion XR30 Pros - same lights as always and the same schedule since I set the tank up Pumps 2 MP40s and a MP10 ( See picture for schedule) Fish - Ornate leopard wrasse 5 months, 2 cardinals 5 months, Yellow Tang 3 months, rainbow dottyback 2 months, Sailfin tang 2 months, 2 engineer gobys 2 months and 1 month, blue hippo tang 1 month, green spotted mandarin 2 days, six line wrasse 2 days other tank inhabitants - 2 emerald crabs 3 months, 2 cleaned shrimp 4 months, 40 hermit crabs, 40 snails both from day one, sand sifting starfish 2 months. All other corals are doing great and growing. In the picture with two in it the right is when I first got it and the left is from a week ago.
