Closed Palythoa

ChrisC5150 · May 29, 2024

Hi all…I have a question re. my Paly’s. I have 2 of them placed at different heights in tank (top third & bottom) and both have been closed for the last month. I have had them for about a year and they have always been open. The only thing that has changed is that it’s been a challenge keeping the temp at 79 because it is hot here in Fresno (using a fan via Apex).

Any ideas?

I’ll try to provide all info that y’all might need to help me out.

Tank size- 30 gal
Age- 18 mos
Lighting- (2) AI Blade Grow - See screenshot
Temp 80.2
Ph 7.96
Nitrates- .24
Phosphates- 8.0
Alk- 5.68
Ca 461
Mg- 437

Pictures of the coral are always good.
Try using a fan or chiller.
Most of your parameters are so far out of normal,
I would just do an ICP
