Did a big water change yesterday. The new candy cane is hanging in there and I hope will recover for me.
The other problem candy cane looks like it is deteriorating some in the center :( It does have a spot of brown on it, but that spot doesn't seem to be spreading. The new frogspawn doesn't seem to be opening up real well either. :dunno:
And my zoas are weird. One of them is thriving and reproducing, and the ones I glued to the shell are shrinking and dying... WTF?
Thinking about going to get an AquaClear or figuring out some kind of skimmer for the tank. My thought is that I am having trouble with a film on top of the tank and it's having a hard time getting oxygen circulated properly which in turn is lowering my pH. I have been dosing a small amount of kalkwasser the last few days and trying to get the surface water when I do water changes since the beginning.
Salinity is kept at 1.025-1.026
Ammonia 0
Trites 0
Trates can't get to drop below 5-10
pH 7.9, brought up to 8.1 yesterday with kalk
KH 8
calcium 420
Both tanks are frustrating me at the moment. :confused:
