I have an 80 gallon tank with 6 x 54w t5 lighting.
Fish are all doing fine
Sailfin Tang(he can't stay)
Blue Neon Damsel
Blue Chromis
2 clowns
lawnmower blenny and
the ever important black molly from when the tank first cycled.
I purchased the tank complete so it has been moved since the original cycle. Half of the original water was transported with the move. Using ro/di water for changes and instant ocean reef crystals.
Water
78-80 degrees
PH 7.5 - 8.0 having a hard time with the color chart, ordered a digital tester
Nitrite 0
ammonia 0
nitrate 15-20
kh 90
calcium 400
salinity 1.024
Needing to buy an iron test
Recently tried some corals and they all die within a couple days. Not sure what I am missing. Doing water changes to bring the nitrates down.
Lost a feather duster
Torch coral
palm tree coral
waving hand coral
and a frogspawn.
Not sure what is wrong, what am I missing. Bulbs are all brand new
Corals were acllimated for close to two hours.
Also 6 astrea snails died virtually instantly. Something must be way out but don't know what.
Thanks for any help.
