My yellow polyps dont seem to be doing that well. My zoos, xenia, GSP are doing fantastically and spreading. My yellow polyps seem to be disappearing 1 by 1. Info
130 watts, yes i know on the low end.
Ammonia - 0
nitirite - 0
nitrate - 15
PH - 8.1
Calcium - 400
Alkalinity - 1.5 - 2.0
I guess my alkalinity is a little low, can this be the cause, how can i raise it? I use the SeaChem test kit, and i am unsure if i am testing for alkalinity correctly. The reason why is it says to hold bottle vertically and add one drop at a time, but its a glass bottle and no drops come out. So i use one of those plastic pipetes and use that to add drops, this may effect my results, anyone else have this problem.
Thanks,
Jeff
