Hey everyone. I have a 1 year old 20 gallon nano with a pretty nice sized zoa garden. For the last month or 2 I've had insane growth with all my corals, mainly zoas, but over the last 3 days my zoas began to shrink and some are half closed in an asymmetrical way. I haven't changed anything in my maintenance routine however I just noticed my no4 and po4 had bottomed out. Im wondering if thats what could be doing it. I also have a duncan, some euphilia and gsp that arent opened as fully as normal as well as an acan which is extending further out of its skeleton. I also have a bleached anemone i have been working on that is improved despite the condition of the rest of my corals. So it seems the problem is not zoa specific.
Params
salinity 1.025
temp 78
alk 9.4
ph 8
calcium 400
ammonia 0
no3 0
no4 0
po4 0
lighting- ai prime led
i nornally feed corals daily with red sea ab+ and occasionally target with reef roids
Im hoping the problem is bottomed out nutrients because i did see an explosion in algae at the same time they ran out. I have removed gfo, turned off my skimmer and i am skipping this weeks water change. I will also be feeding my fish/corals a bit more heavily
