Acan, Mushrooms have never been happy

[dnprall]

My take is a Red Sea Reefer XL 200 (42 gallons). Started 12/4/22. I have a Red Sea 90 LED light (running 100% at 15K) with PAR values of this: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/cont...his-is-the-red-sea-reefled-brstv-investigates .

I started with 3 mushrooms and they have progressively have gotten smaller and smaller and smaller until they let go and move and I never seen them again (one "left" over night). I have an Acan that has never opened up and seems to be shrinking (I got the Acan about 1 month ago).

My water parameters (as below) have been stable for the last couple of months.

I have several Euphyllia that seem to be loving life. I do feed with Benepets via broad cast. I do dose Neonitro, Neophos, and All-for-reef.

Too much light for the mushrooms? Thoughts? Maybe I'm not meant to have mushrooms/acans? (I really do love the Euphyllia though and some zoas).

Your mag is way to low. Need to bring it up around 1450. What test kits are you using? You shouldn't have any ammonia at all if tank is cycled.

I'd shoot to keep Cal above 400 also.

Agree with above also lower light for a bit

Hanna. Will increase my All-for-Reef dosing.

Red Sea Salt "blue bucket" the 8 KH and I have an RI/DO system to make water.

Thanks. TDS meter shows 0 for the output. It's a new system. I probably have made about 50 gallons through it (doesn't mean that new stuff can be and always good to check all avenues).
