I have a 29 bc and considering to buy a supplement for my corals and a anemone in few weeks. I use rodi water and pro sea salt for my wc biweekly. Any suggestion on supplement?
Do you test calcium, alkalinity and magnesium?
If your not testing don't add anything. How do you know where your levels are at or if you need to increase anything if you've never tested them? Adding supplements will just throw everything out of wack. It's not just part of keeping a reef tank. Only dose if you test for the big 3 and see your levels dropping
If you are doing regularly scheduled WC`s then supplements are not necessary. Salt mixes have about 89 different salts in them that cover all the supplements you would need and more. If anything I would test for calcium and see but my bet is that you would be ok. JMO
Then why does my torch coral not open fully?
Idk without numbers to go by no one can tell you anything. Do you not have quality test kits? Do you test ammonia, nitrite or nitrate? Phosphates? It could be anything
Flow is also a big part with the extension of tentacles from this family of corals, even if parameters are in check.
how much flow is the torch getting med is most desired . phosphates will also effect the torch, last but not least lighting what type are you running
Phosphates being OK doesn't really say anything at all. That isn't something that can be measured. What is OK for me isn't going to be the same as someone else's ok. Do you have a specific reading?
Have you tried moving it to a different spot in the tank?
Was the coral acclimated to the new light?
Did they give you exact numbers? What test kits did they use? Of course they sold you something, it's a lfs
