So I have a 100 Gallon tank, about 50lbs of live rock. Live sand.
Mixed reef, Various Zoas, sps and lps.
I have a Purple Tang, Naso, Yellow, And blue hippo.
Lighting. T5 Retro ATI blueplus bulbs, Cree retrofit leds. Reef Octo NW200 Skimmer, Filter Socks refugium with fiji mud.
Salt used is reef crystals, 15% water change every other week.
Water tests at,
1.025 Salinity
0 Nitrate
0 Nitirite
0 ammonia
0 phosphate
calc 490
ph 7.9
My Coral is all doing GREAT. Great growth and color.
My fish seem to be the ones with issue. My smaller yellow tang has a skin issue where it literally looks like he has been sunburnt, my larger yellow, appears to be slowly getting it as well. My blue hippo lost some of his color vibrancy. As well as the purple. The only tang who truely looks great is my NASO.
Feeding is New Era Marine Gazer every day. Spectrum pellets at night, every other day mysis shrimp. All eat very well.
What could be wrong? Here is what i have tested
DV voltage in tank read at .001, tried switching foods. I ran without filter socks no difference.
The only time the fish started doing better was when i first introduced miracle mud. That lasted for about 2 weeks and back to the same issue.
I’m at a loss and want to help my fish live the best life possible! Please help!
