Charge cards are a wonderful thing! LOL
I am having some serious concerns about my corals in this tank.
I did a battery of tests and they came out good: amm 0 trites 0 ph 8.2 ish temp 79 salinity 1.024 trates are at barely over 0.
But my corals are not at all looking like they used to.
here is a picture of my duncan now.
Here is a picture of it in the pico a while ago.
Could it be not as large and opening as much since it's splitting heads rapidly? I plan on leaving the MH on for 8 hours today and most every coral is on the bottom for now, I didnt wanna burn anything up.
Should I just give it a few more days with the new light? Or should I get a new bulb, the guy who I bought it from said it was almost a year old but had a few months left in it. Then theres the choice of bulbs....I think I;m gonna go cheapo just to see if the 20k spectrum is where I want to be? THEN I may get an expensive bulb if I like the blue the 20k is supposed to provide.
Any help or opinions appreciated! As always, thanks guys.
