Please Help My Tank

Be careful with the light if you cannot move it upper, try lowering the bleached corals towards your tank bottom. I wouldn't add chemicals in the tank with all the issues in corals, get a couple of blue hermit crabs and one emerald crab they will help much more and they are fun to watch.

Make sure you're feeding the Euphyllias while they're bleached. It will help them get nutrients that would normally be produced by the zooxanthellae.

Flakes or blows ? Flakes of is weird



Shoot them again and you want to hit them right in the mouth. Id it doesn't respond you may need to order or get sharp syringes and inject vinegar.

Why do you want less light in the tank?
You can shorten the time it's on.

Blows off it probably a better discription.
I want to lower the amount of like because a couple of my corals are bleached because of the new light I bought. I already shortened the time schedule to 8 hours but I might lower down to 6 hours

Something is feeding that stuff. Really need to figure out what that is

I would have bet that it was phosphates but I have no idea what it is now. Do you have any suggestions?

All the corals that are bleached are either already in the sand bed, attacked to the rock, or are to big to find a place for them lower in the tank

I have never gotten a feeding response out of my ephyllia. Do you have any suggestions?

agree try running the lights for a shorter period maybe 6 hours ? And it won't hurt to fun some gfo in a reactor or worst case in a mesh bag, that will help with you're phosphate . keep doing the water changes and test phosphate often the algae should start going away

A buddy of mine has a ghost reactor he ran in his IM 50 gallon tank but it stripped away too much nitrites so he had to take it out but maybe he could let me barrow it just for a couple of days!

Can you raise it up?

It a really weird prob you you have there. Low nutints , an algae or Cyano/spirulina , and bleaching corals.

Let's get the #reefsquad for some more eyes.
