My Lobo is dying

[bsauerheber]

I have always wanted a Red Lobo so I got one and I think its dying. Here are my Numbers:
Cal-423
Alk- 8.6
Mag: 1260
Phosphate .08ppm
Nitrate- 3
PH-8.1
Sal-1.026
It is in an area of the tank where it gets a PAR of 181. I have only had it for a week and have feed it 3 times. once with Fana Marin and twice with brine shrimp. I really have no idea what I am doing wrong any help would be great.

Aw crud!
Only thing I could see would be too fast a light acclimation VS what the lfs had.
are you running a gfo reactor perhaps?

Mine did the same exact thing when I had too much light. Mine lives in about 70 PAR FWIW

Stick him in a shady spot, see what he does.

But I also would like to know what you are doing for nutrient export.

I am not runnnng gfo. I use the zeovit system. I will try to move it to a shady spot. Hopefully that helps
