My zoas are not doing well. And some mushrooms. I have lost some zoas, they were ok one day and gone the next. My mushrooms aren't growing. I have a green one, it was getting pretty big, now it is really small. The lights have been changed, 6 T5's. The only other thing is, I use to use Oceanic, everything was growing, never had any issues. My LFS don't carry it any more, so I bought Kent. That's about the time everything quit growing. Used about half the bucket, than got SeaChem. Things still aren't growing, my tote of saltwater, for water changes has brown in it, the salt doesn't dissolve, I've put an air bubbler in it and a 950 gph power jet, still don't dissolve. When I quit using the Kent, we cleaned the tote out before we started using the Seachem. It still don't dissolve. Why am I having all these problems ???
Here are my test results.
Ammonia 0
Phosphates .5
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
PH 7.8
KH 5 drops, 89.5 ppm I did add Kent Marine PH Buffer
Calcium 28 drops, over 520
Salinity 1.026
TDS on RO was 008 this is after we changed the 3 filters that hang from the bottom. The tote with the fesh RO water that we use for top offs is clear, no brown in it.
