Tank is about 3 years old now. Fish: Frostbite Clown, Orchid Dottyback, Purple Firefish, Anthias Lyretail.
Been traveling and have had a bad go of it lately. I’ve lost a Yellow Watchman, pistol shrimp, Lawnmower Blenny, a blue legged crab, and 4 peppermint shrimp. I’ve also lost all but one coral. Last survivor is a green button polyp (of some kind) colony.
Been working on parameters and trying to re-establish stability. Here are last tests:
Alk: 10.3
Phosp: .1 (working on dropping to .03 to .05)
Nitrate: 11.1 (would like to see this closer to 5, but okay)
Calcium: 403
Mag: 1550 (high. Trying for 1350).
I think I have an aggressive fish that I need to find. The Anthias loves to fu&k with everything except the frosty. He’s my top suspect. Maybe the dotty…
Had an outbreak of Aiptasia I picked up from the local LFS. But, I thought I finally beat that.
The color of these didn’t come out. They look more white in person.
These are in full effect lately though and I’m curious what you think. Sponges?
