That's high, but fine. It will precipitate out if it is too high, but I do think corals get irritated if it is well above 500 and more than anything it will change magnesium levels and alk consumption. That is really why you want certain numbers, any of the three elevate and it is like scales balancing and can either tax another element or cause it to not be able to be consumed properly.
Okay one more and then I’m done. You asked for it. I have this 5 headed hammer that looked great for the first 2 months after I got it. All 5 heads have been looking pretty sad for probably 3-4 weeks. Short stringy tentacles. I’m thinking it’s getting too much par but don’t really want to move it unless I have to. It’s probably getting about 250 par now slowly acclimated up from about 150. I also took my whites down from 30 to 10 percent right around the time it started going downhill but don’t think that would make a difference. Was hoping it would eventually start coming back. No pests on it. Medium flow. Think that’s what it is and it will eventually acclimate? Frogspawn in the same par is thriving.
I may give the aquaforest tests a shot too, just want to double check my saliferts.
Haha I picked up an acro frag to give it's base a little scrubbing and almost jumped since there was a huge micro brittle star just chilling at it's base. Gave me a scare, normally they just chill in the rocks and not on a frag rack and it's the biggest micro star I've seen. Thought it was a tiny octopus.
An oxymoron brittle star got em!!!
Up your mag. Hammers love magnesium. Do you feed them?Okay one more and then I’m done. You asked for it. I have this 5 headed hammer that looked great for the first 2 months after I got it.

I was just about to say that...raise mag
Fighting the same thing on my branching hammer, when you find an answer, I'd like one tooOkay one more and then I’m done. You asked for it.

Hand is fine, your tank is small enough. I dose mag every four days since All for Reef is lower on it. Just add 5ml every 3-4 days and I'm good, I'd assume your are similar, but it depends on your stocking.
So you use “all for Reef” to dose for mag?
Dude, I have the same problem. Sound like my Amazon "aquarium safe" magnets might be the problem. Gonna have to remove them from my diy frag rocks and find some other way to attach them yo my back glass.On the real tip does anybody know how to kill this algae we have it in one of our new tanks and its stubborn nothing kills or eat it we tried a double dose of fluconzole 3 weeks twice in a row back to back and nothing. It' grows so fast
It doesn't grow in any other of systems
Please somebody help lol
Just one possibility. Mine was showing visible rust.
I'll have to check them tomorrow. I both fo and don't hope this is the problem. On one hand it's a simple fix but on the other I'll need to find some other spot of the corals on those rocks
