Can my chalice be saved?

[t5Nitro]

Got this guy about 3 weeks ago.

Has always been placed on the bottom glass of my innovative marine 75, which I think is around 20 inches deep. Atlantik v4 overhead raised 14.5 inches above water plus 1 OR3 blue plus for light. Flow is gyre xf330 gradual pulse 10-60% and tunze 6095 2 second pulses at 35%.

Params sg 1.024-1.0×5
Alk 8
No3 12-25 nyos
Po4 0.04 to 0.08 hanna ulr
Ca and Mg have not checked this week but has been 430 and 1300s

2 medium fish, 6 small fish. 1 cube frozen daily plus a 4x4 inch nori sheet daily.

Additives, dosing phos daily to maintain above numbers as well as 5ml acropower about 3-4x weekly.

Edit to say that I just moved it to be right next door to a blastomusa mini colony which has always done very well for me. Thinking maybe the chalicr would like it better there, bottom glass center front.

Hammers and torch doing great.

Was anything stinging it? If not, it may have just been a swing in ALK or something. Stability should bring that back to normal. I've had chalices look worst and come back.

Here's its new neighbor if it should be in similar conditions as blastos?blasts? Trying to see if the tissue receding can be stopped.

I don’t see a pic. But, yes give him good conditions and they are pretty resilien.

I had it in the front corner of the tank by itself with nothing around it. Recalling I went on vacation for 1 week and alk dipped to 6.6 over the course of 1 week. Now it's back to 8 after another weeks time. Is that enough of a swing to do it?

Otherwise I've been monitoring like a hawk this past week and I'm getting 7.9-8.1 twice per day in alk reads.

My tanks alk consumption has really fallen i think, though, because it goes up 0.1 per day and I keep turning down the doser 1ml a day.

I think that should be good. I would a bit longer but if it doesn't stop fragging off the dead part may be a solution. It looks like it could grow back though.

Sorry I didn't know I had a duplicate thread open. Posted from phone. Mods please close as I have the other thread with photos attached.

Sorry!!

 

[Deephouse_jedi]

Yeah a swing like that would definitely do it. As long as it stays stable I'm pretty confident you'll be fine

 

[t5Nitro]

Thanks all. Appreciate the help. Im going to keep checking alk twice daily and keep toying with the dosing pump as needed. I can't believe the alk consumption is so low lately. Everybody must have gotten stunted.

If there was a change in your ph making it lower that could cause you lower alk consumption a change in ph could be from a change in your lighting or even higher co2 level in your house then normally
