REEFER 250 - Tank Photos and Coral Advice/Help

[nickenayat]

I wanted to share photos of my tank and express some issues I’m having.

I’ve been in the hobby for about 10 years now and had amazing success on my Nuvo 20 for about 6 years. Since going larger on my REEFER 250 I’ve had nothing but struggles. 2 tank crashes, 4 moves and failure after failure.

I’m starting up again and have gotten some new corals but they already seem to be browning and bleaching. Parameters are below. Hoping for any advice or opinions on how I can kickstart this tank for the corals to look happier. This new run has had the tank up for about a year. Corals added about 3 weeks ago.

Parameters -
Temp 79
pH 7.9-8.1
Alk 8.7
Mag 1340
Calc 435

Do you know your par? Have you done an ICP test? What’s your salinity?
