acan help please

Another point I would make is my Po4 and No3 are near undetectable, your phosphate might be a little high for them? Just throwing out possibilities..

Half of them have and half haven’t come to think of it the one on the side of the rock always seemed fatter then then ones on top of the rock .... maybe to much light and getting hit with to much flow .

About a month or so ago the one on the side of the rock ....

Have they always been fat and healthy until just recently? Do you feed them? Mine could care less about lighting and flow, I have 12 mini colony’s living in different locations in my tank all getting different lighting and flow going from mild to wild

Crazy, I never feed mine and they are fat colorful and healthy

That’s parts per billion , not ppm if that makes a diff

I wish that was my case

0.076 ppm

 

[richiero]

Is that high ? 0.076?

 

[richiero]

I read a Hanna article that anything bet 0-30 ppb is an acceptable range

 

[Travis Stewart]

IMO it’s a little high but more important to be as stable as possible. There are many reefs out there that have been successful with higher NO3 and PO4 than the “suggested” levels.

My KH has been rock solid for 9 months, and I just put the dosetronic on line so all that will be stable

 

[richiero]

There was one point by tank had no po4 and no no3 and I was getting dino outbreak from the water being to clean

Back in June

Yes it does.. lol, I’m tired. I agree on not making drastic adjustments if everything else is doing ok, maybe just give them time. They look very happy in that last picture.

Maybe check for contamination such as rusty magnets, run a poly filter for a while and do a few consecutive water changes.

I just tested my PO4 again now i got 13ppb which 0.040ppm i think it dropped b/c my algae scrubber lights have been on for a few hours i'm going to test again tomorrow at 2pm and then again at 11pm and see what i get.

Check them at night. If the tentacles are extended feed them then. If you feed at the same times everyday they will learn the schedule and extend much easier when you start to feed your fish. They love to be fed and they can eat a lot more than you would think.
