This isn't an active forum but I hope someone helps me. I've received no replies yet on nanoreef either.
Ph 8.3
alkalinity 161.1
ammonia 0 (tested after I added amquel+, i use this for my freshwater tanks)
nitrite 0
nitrate 2.5-5.0
salinity 1.021 - normally keep it at 1.023.
Temp though is on the low side at 75.6 so I'm upping this. Not sure why the temperature is low. Its normally 77-78F.
15G - just some soft corals. He's the only fish. We have red scarlets and some burrowing snails that were original to the tank when we set it up two years ago. Still dealing with diatom issues.
AC110 empty on the back for extra water and volume flow.
17lbs of live rock. Live sand.
Change 25%-30% weekly. Use Culligan store bought RO water only.
My husband did it again. An overzealous cleaning of the tank 2 days ago. There was sediment all through the water and he puts filter floss in the back of the AC110 to catch this. Now the clown isn't eating.
I don't know whats wrong with him but I'm 100% sure it related to how my husband did this big tank cleanup (dusting the rocks with a turkey baster).
I've read online that it could be brookynella (spelling) and it talks to formalin dips and qt at 1.010 salt. I can set up a 10G QT tank today.
I don't want to kill him though - especially because I'm not sure what exactly is wrong.
He's not eating. And when we turn off the pumps to feed him he swims back and forth to maintain a hovering position.
Please help. I really want him to recover.
