Im sorry if this is in the wrong spot but I really didnt know which forum it belongs in.
Got something weird going on in my 180. I had an overnight out break of brown alge covering my rocks and under more inverstigation have found a few fish just do look or act right.
Tank Overview: 180 fish only with 50 gallon Sump. 2 lion fish, 1 pinktail trigger, 1undulated trigger, 1 porupine puffer, 1 dog face puffer, 1 durgon trigger, 1 bamboo shark, 1 domino damsal and a snowflak eel.
Temp in tank 78, pH 8.2, Ammonia .25, nitrite 0ppm, Nitrate 7.0 (high), sality is 1.21
The lion fish , puffers, durgon trigger, eel and shark look and act normal. But the undulated trigger and domino have bad color but swin and act normal. The pinktail looks very bad in color and doesnt look like he is in good shape at all.
Where do i start to look for the problem ????????
already started water changes for the nirate problem. 20 gallons lastnight and 30 gallons in a few mins.
