Bit of a rubbish week for the tank. A lot of zoa's closed tight, leathers not extending their polyps, GSP is closed in chunks and just generally looks a bit... Well... Down. 

Did a small water change at the weekend and the parameters are all ok... It's just looking down in the dumps.... 👎🏼

I would venture to say that maybe the zoas and GSP would like slightly more phosphates? I’ve learned that if I don’t keep it around .15-.2 some of the “dirtier” corals look less happy, especially in the Evo. I dunno though. Just my two cents

Yeah absolutely.. maintaining phosphate is my pain in the ass at the moment..im dosing daily but haven't got the dosage right yet as it's beging consumed down to almost 0.00 every day..

 

I feel like the bioload is low even though I have a relatively good amount of fish and cuc, the tank doesn't look like it's rammed full. I have a moderate amount of coral but most of you guys have a hell of a lot more. Maybe this plays a part. Or maybe my cuc combination are extremely good, or my husbandry has swung the other way after GHA and cyano battles to the point that I need to be more hands off... Who knows..

Exactly.. I think what your advise to me is.... I absolutely must buy a great deal more coral.. and in addition to this, AT THE VERY LEAST one more good sized fish.. AS WELL AS more shrimp and cuc.. 

I don't thing I read your advice wrong did I? 🤣

I have stuff wander a lot. A really nice red/orange mushroom wandered off to behind my rock wall too. And a frogspawn. They seem happy back there though it does take away from the variety up front.

So your favorite coral fell to the sand (at least it's upright). How big of a bother can it be? REALLY! Go get it!!

Oh fine but I'll need to fashion a holding pen for it. It's a leather and will not take being glued.. I'll do it now.. 👍🏼 

 

Update: saved until such time I can do a proper job
