Hi my hammer corals have recently been deflating or in other words shriveling up. They seem to always shrivel up more mid-day then recover back to their rough shape by 6pm.I use SMARTFARM led 95w ( sunrise: 8-10, full light:10-5 sunset: 5-7) my light intensity is: 5%white 80%blue 80%dark blue 100%purple 5%warm 5%, green.
My parameters
test done with api kit)
Salinity: 1.0255
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 1.5-2.0ppm
Calcium: 450ppm
Magnesium:1200ppm
Alkalinity: 13.5dkh
Ph:8.0
Phosphate: between 0-0.25.
Temp: constant 78 degrees
Inhabitants: 2 clownfish, 3 stripped damsel, 1 baby convict tang, 1 diamond goby, some snails and hermit crabs.
Tank info: 40gallon bow front, I run a canister filter with a cup of carbon I run a UV sterilizer 24/7 also. My mushrooms are doing great, along with my rockflower anemones.
The hammers were double the size when I purchased them,I've had then for two weeks now.
