Is my bubbletip dieting

[MrDLHughesY]

Hi guys is my bubble tip dieing ? Any help would be appreciated thanks

Parameters are all good apart from iodine which was 0 so I am currently dosing this to get it up to 0.6 but has been shrivelled since before this started. Could it be light ?

 

[MrDLHughesY]

Dieing I meant [emoji23]

Dieting or dying?

Could be insufficient light, or parameters. Probably not iodine.

What are your actual parameters & how long has tank been up?

 

[themcnertney]

Tank looks relatively new. Recommended is typically one year for nems. Please post parameters.

Welcome to R2R and we're glad you joined.

May I ask what type of lighting you are using, age of system (although the LR looks mature) and parameter numbers, please?

 

[Gonebad395]

Welcome to R2R we need more information to help you like tank parameters and equipment like others have said

 

[MrDLHughesY]

Hi yes I meant die, and system ha been running for about 5/6 months. Live rock came from a sump of a fully matured tank.

PH-8.1
Calcium-440
Salinity-1.26

Had test done at LFS and iodine was -0 and strontium was low aswell

!!! Welcome to R2R !!! What's your WC schedule and the percentage ?

 

[MrDLHughesY]

Thanks and I do a 10% water change every week yes I was debating to upgrade my lighting what would you suggest torn between ai prime kessil or marine orbit ?

 

[Mical]

A1 or Kessil would be your best bet. Marine orbits generally don't put out enough light deep enough. Also what is your dkh?

10 and just seen the new Red Sea reef led 50 they look good might hang on for that

 

[themcnertney]

Def lighting is your issue.

 

[MrDLHughesY]

Def lighting is your issue.

Cheers going to look to upgrade

Mine hasn’t moved once, has to basically take my scape down a relocate the rock closer to the light until I get my new ones to see if there’s any change
