If you want help please give following answers. We are trying to help but you give us very vague answers.

• What day did you move the tank?
• What day did you start adding corals?
• What kind of light do you have?
• What are you using for flow?
• What are you parameters? All you say is they are good. Please let us know. If you have not tested please be honest and say so.
• Do you have any other livestock in your tank?

You tank is probably not ready for corals and is cycling due to being moved.

Yor nitrate are through the roof. They should be less than 5 or close to it to be close to normal.

Ph is ok

your KH but it should be between 7-12 DKH 125-200ppm to be considered normal.

Phosphate is ok

Calcium is very high. Should be around 480 to be normal.

Chances are, your magnesium is off also

We want to know what they are specifically not just good which is different in everyone’s opinion

What kind of salt do you use to make your water? Do you know what your salinity is?

Nice tank rock scape.
Can you post a photo of the blasto and goni?

Chances are your lights are insufficient.
How old are the bulbs on the t5 fixture? If they are as old as the tank, approx 4 years. They need to be replaced. 4 bulbs would be a lot better than 2.

The salinity is in between 1022 -1023 not sure how old the bulbs are

I haven't check magnesium and my tank on 40 nitrate seem to be stable

Exactly. My tank is comfy on 20-40ppm. Lps and softies are loving it. Spreading like crazy. Plus macro algae is blooming. Just gave some to my LFS to sell.

Aiptasia, take care of it before it spreads like herpes. No good.

Majano wand works perfectly for killing those pest.

To disagree or not they are on the higher side and depending on what test kit is being used the actual number could be even higher 5-10 is a norm for most people. If you ask 100 different people, you'll probably get 100 different answers. So basically saying they are through the roof was my opinion and not a fact. Although, saying they are on the high end of the scale is a fact

Glad to hear it is doing better. Please post a photo for us to see. We like to see photos of recovered livestock.

Good catch and I agree.

Only thing when using these, if you dont get every piece they will come back with a vengeance. The majano wands and aptasia x are the most common removal techniques.
