EMERGENCY - Blue hippo tang

My blue hippo tang starting flashing and I attempted to dose with metaflex after talking with FS. The next morning I notice it was having trouble swimming. Shortly after it died. Looking for help on what people think it could have been. Water parameters are in picture below. All other fish seem...

found it its API

LFS’s magic all-in-one testing machine?

I’ve never seen a machine like this before. Is this accurate? Im going to manually test my parameters and see where we match and don’t. they said Alk needed to be divided by 18 which brings it to 7.6dkh.

Well i'm sorting my torch garden out 1st but i think i can only fit like 4 torches on it then after that i'm clueless on what to buy this is a pic of the rock i want the torches and i have no clue what to put over the other side of the tank i can't have sps cause this torch likes low light

I guess it would depend on what you ultimately want to keep in your tank. If your going with the mixed reef then your rockscape should have some higher and lower areas. i have my AI prime 16hd at 70% and my torches are on the SB while my sps is at the top of the tank.

I'm not sure how high end sps will do but my pocillipora is almost out of the water and my birdsnest is doing great

a euphyllia garden would look great on that rock and fill the lower sections with some meat.

I just wanted to say that he already has a euphyllia garden in the plan - if we’re being technically accurate then it would be a Fymbriaphyllia garden

I really recommend trying them, I don’t really ship from there as I’m only an hour and a half away from him so I mainly drive there 1-2 times a month (sometimes 4-5 times like back in September and October).

That tiger in person is beautiful - I’d personally get that over the HG!

I love Hg's my fav torch might see what i can do too get both

 

[Dave1993]

i think on that rock i want to put the torches on i could get 3 pretty comfortable maybe squeeze 4 on

 

[Dave1993]

Didn't want to cause ill use it once and never use it again but ordered hanna nitrite checker as my nitrates are flashing 75ppm and i don't have fish or feed the tank apart from giving the scoly 1 pellet every 2 days so idk whats going on kind of need to know if it is nitrite though

 

[Dave1993]

Well torch isnt doing good do what they always do fine for 2 weeks then just stop opening slowly whither away

 

[Dave1993]

Gonna give up on torches if they 1 don't make it even though they are my fav coral they are just so hard i check params every 2 days

calc 420
alk 8.1
nitrate (can't get a true reading)
phos 0.12
mag 1300
ammonia obv 0

like i don't see what the problem is going to do a 20% WC now and see if that helps

 

[Dave1993]

Torch looking worse after WC Scoly looking good though gonna give torches up as a bad job think ima buy this at end of the month

 

[Dave1993]

Well think i found the problem with the torch my nitrate really was 75ppm+ did a water change yday and 2day torch has been looking better today still not in its full glory though if i can get the torch looking good before the end of the month think ima pull the trigger on the holy grail

 

[Dave1993]

Torch is looking MUCH better today not going to do a water change today so i don't stress it but nitrates are at 52ppm want them about 20ppm
