Magnets in the water column?????

[Reefermadness73]

Ok so I have been having some issues with my tank and was wondering if the way I mounted my WP25's was the problem. I have them mounted on my overflow with the magnet in the water....any thoughts???? My sps are not looking good and some of my LPS are receding

Not positive but I don't think the "outside" magnet is supposed to be on the inside. How long have you had it in the water and how long has it been since you've noticed coral difference?

Noticed problems about a month after i put them in

Its a possibility then, move the powerhead so that the outside magnet is in fact on the outside and see if there's any improvement. If not, how r ur levels? Flow? Light? Etc.

ALK -8.....salifert
CA- 440.....salifert
PO4-.04... Hanna
Mag-1300.....ELOS
Nitrate is undetectable on my API test...but u know

I'd use Salifert for nitrate, more accurate IMO. Everything else looks good, just try moving it

the magnets are encased, they shouldn't cause you an issues, unless theres a hole in the casing, then it will cause you big problems.
