Montipora placement, flow, and lighting

[Devan Patel]

I’m going to assume the tank crashed due to neglection in reducing water changes which then built up high nutrients. Which then killed a lot of my cuc. Which then I had Dino’s for some odd reason which that was the main thing that wiped out of the tank, and back then I didn’t have the knowledge to fight it. It’s an AIO system. Waterbox 50.3 AIO.

Why did the tank crash?

My suggestion is to make a refugium.

You have a sump, right? Even a small refugium will go a long way. Dedicate a section of the sump to chrow chaeto in

Any thoughts on the lighting settings??? Haha

This is not an emergency.

Your coral will be absolutely fine in that nitrate and phosphate if those measurements are correct. I have seen perfectly healthy systems in far higher levels of nitrate and phosphate.

The concerning parameter is the alkalinity. That is definitely on the higher side. It is not in a crazy high range or anything, though, and I personally would not bother trying to lower it. Let it settle down gradually.
