Hello everyone. I'm just suck. I've had my reef tank up for 5 months now and am worried that for the life of me I cannot get my Zoa colony, which is about 1 month old to open up. I'm also struggling with my chemistry and need advice on rectifying it. It seems like almost all of my parameters are high especially (and embarrassingly) my nitrates.
Ph 8.3
KH 7.7
Salinity 1.026
PO4 0.11
NO3 34.6
I have within the last two weeks put the new Bubble Magus Nano skimmer in, but I think it's still breaking in and I'm trying to get it set just right. I've cut my feedings down to every other day and am changing my floss daily and my socks every 3 days. I have i bag of Chemi-pure Elite that's been in for about 6 weeks, so it should still be good. I dose with Microbacter7 and change 15-20% of the water weekly faithfully. I have some porous bio balls in my sump s well. It seems like almost all of my corals are thriving, but the Zoa colony will just not open. Help
