Tank is 70 gal. First I am posting parameters. I am working on getting phosphates down with GFO and dosing phosphate E. Might bump up the phosphate e because its going really slow. Target is less than .1 Nitrates are a little high but not horrible. Alk has started to drop over the last month. I picked up some sodium bicarbonate but want to test tonight do a 10 gal water change and test tomorrow to see how that effects alk.
My problems are my corals. I had an awesome elephant ear shroom. Both before and after pics. This I think was caused by clownfish loving it to death. I cant get anyone to take the clown. Is this shroom savable if I remove its tormentor?
Next is my monti. It is a dark pink color but in past couple months is getting algae all over it. What can I do to help it? It still look's very alive as it has not bleached but the algae cant be good for it. Monti is near top of tank with good flow. I have another smaller Monti frag different type that is pretty much bleached out and covered with algae as well.
I also have a chalice? It has developed some dead spots but seems to be doing better now. Its the one with all the green dots in the pic. The dead spots are not present in pic.
Had 2 different colonies of gsp. One is barely hanging on the other one hasnt opened in a month. Ive always heard its impossible to kill.
The pic with the devil hand and green hair algea is old. Hair algea is all gone thanks to better parameters and fish.
Lastly the pic with the 2 corals. The bottom frag died the top frag is doing fine. Not 100% sure what either one is. No clue why it died.
I have 2 different candy canes that are doing fine though not growing like they used to and I have a devil hand leather that is doing great.
Fish in tank are
lawnmower
one spot foxface
pink skunk clown
black onyx clown which i am thinking killed my elephant ear with love
dartfish
filefish which ate my hammers and zoas but no more aptasia
mimic tang juvenile
Not really sure whats wrong. Lighting is 2 finnex 24/7 marine lights.
Help please?
