Frogspawn Problems

[kevinlogan42]

I have had this frog spawn for about 8 months and all was well while it was in my 15 gal column.

a comparison of income

I upgraded tanks and with all the new variables I have no Idea where to start. It is now housed in a 65 gallon tank. In the old tank I was running a 2 korlia 240 for water flow and an ac110 fuge for filtration, lighting was 36 watt cree diy 6 blue 4 white 1 red 1 violet.

Now I am running the same power heads and the return pump is pushing probably 4-500 gph and I added a mp 40 on the far side of the tank. I am running it on the lowest possible setting and am debating about changing to an mp20 controller that I have. Lighting is a 120 watt taotronic led dialed way down.

After two weeks in the new tank, it quit inflating and has looked like this for the last 4 days.

The only think that I changed is I moved the mp 40 up on the glass about an inch.

 

All the water paramaters are testing good Amonia 0, nitrite 0,nitrate is less than 5.0, Salinity is 1.025. I dont have a test for anything else but I do know that I am having a phosphate problem. because I had an explosion of green hair algea.

Any Ideas where I should start?

Start increasing the light intensity. It looks bad bc its getting no light..... The deeper the tank the less photosyntetic light gets down to the coral. Increase it to double what its at now. And in a few days increase it again. And do a water change haha that can never hurt

I ran my lite full power for a while but it was bleaching my gap. I guess they are cheaper than frogspawn so I will give it a try thanks. And I will do a water change also how much do you think? Do a big one or standard.

Thanks kevin
