Looking for some guidance

1.) think i have dino's
2.) flesh on duncan stem turns dark then peels away
3.) mini palythoa colony stems getting skinnier
4.) ricordea has colored up from LFS but doesn't grow or stretch out at all, compared to the other 2 mushrooms i bought

plz refer to the last couple posts on my build thread all info/pics there

i have started feeding more heavily for now
all parameters in check, nitrate 5-10 phosphate .25 alk 7 (gonna bring this up to 8 over next couple days and try to keep it there)

I looked at your thread. I think the fact that you’re constantly adding water with 6 TDS is a good majority of your problem. Every time you top off you’re multiplying the concentration. I see you’re also not running DI resin. Have you though about adding one as the last stage of your RO water? They’re about $60 bucks on BRS.

ya sounds good, didnt think that would be linked to the dino's though they are a new problem.

Also, you have a relatively new tank from what I see. That is most common with new setups. I’d recommend some good flow too.
Are you sure it’s dino?

ya pretty sure after feeding less and a water change they came, also the whites on my lights were accidently left on a little more than usual and my wavemaker was adjusted a little lower, plenty of water movement but maybe a little less oxygen not sure. ive read they dont like oxygen
