Adding Coral See Pics

[woodyetia]

I have had my aquarium up and running for over 3 years now. Every time I add corals they do not make it more than a month. I have had my fish for years, I have lost a couple here and there but everyone in the tanks been in there a while. Check out the pics of my latest corals I’m giving it another try. I have nothing special just LED lighting par level of 150 at the deepest of my aquarium.

Do they look ok? Anything to check?

Its been a while since I have had to ask for help on here.

An ICP test might be helpful if these corals die too. Toadstool looks happy. Hopefully this batch stays healthy. A 3 year old stable tank should grow softies well.

So far so good. I just can’t seem to get my flow right I feel I either have too much, not enough or pointed wrong and I end up with indentions I’m the sand etc.

Can you tell us a bit more about how the corals die? And your water change/tank chore regime. Those might have some clues ..

The last time it was an algae outbreak, overtook them. I’m only going to try soft for now. I do 10% water change every week. Water tested weekly at LFS, they say it’s lighting or flow. I added a second LED bar with good par for what I’m trying to keep.
