Hammer is really unhappy

[jabberwock]

Looking at the speard sheet. You went from 8 to 10 dkh in a very short time frame. Big swings like that is going to affect your corals. But agree with the rest, it’s probably been stung by the anemone as well as they seem very close together.

That was well after the hammer declined. It was my reactionary effort to rectify the situation. The nem has been moved before the decline began.

@jabberwock you might want to mention for the 10th time that you moved the anemone !

Yeah, I know, but I am thankful for the help, even if they are only reading part of the thread...

So far, useful bits of info include iodine, and increasing flow. I have been babying it with flow thus far.

I would also consider your zero phosphate as a possible cause. I don't think this is good especially long term.

Are you preserving that giant aptasia?

It is not aptasia. It is the size of a tennis ball.

It may be EEFW, maybe try giving it a dip

I've seen some pretty massive aiptasia, looks to be one to me

Only got to zero when I started adding AB+ which kicked off cyano. Phosphates are wrapped up in the cyano.

Light bulb anemone.

So, here we have it again, pH is 8.0 and dKH is at 8 and another tank has issues, but it’s the phosphate and nitrate right?

Not sure what you mean, the tank is thriving, and all other inhabitants. The hammer is having issues...

The Duncan grew a new head.

Care to enlighten all of us?

 

[RockBox13]

If that’s what you feel about your tank,
then that’s your choice and I won’t disagree.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about.

8&8 sounds good to me. No phos no good.

Exactly. It’s way more important to have Nitrate and Phosphate at levels everyone approves of rather than address a pH that’s probably been down around 7.7 or lower at times. What would low alk and low pH have to do with a Euphyllia receding anyhow? I’m starting to catch on. You gotta go along to get along.

 

[BeanAnimal]

There are no SPS there and pH is perfectly fine. You act as if some mortal coral sin is being committed and we are all too ignorant to see it. Moreover, he raised alk to see if it would help.

I keep SPS and my pH hovers around 8 in the winter. Current ALK is 8.2 and my SPS and LPS are thriving. So try again?

Sure looks like it. . I've got some giants too. If it's not then possibly a majano.
