Everything is looking good and healthy. The reach of the tentacles on that brain is amazing, very good sign. Sorry but can't help on the staghorn don't know much about them.

Just wish I could get my Nitrate below 20mg/l, have tried everything I am aware of

 

[Bifferwine]

You have too many fish. Overstocking can cause high nitrates, because fish waste turns into nitrates.

Sarah I only have 11 fish now that the Coral Beauty died, do you still think its too many, the only big fish are the Tangs (2) 250L

 

[Bifferwine]

Your tank is about 60 gallons. The general rule of thumb in saltwater is 1 fish per 10 gallons -- so 6 fish in a 60 gallon/250 liter tank. Of course, this will vary if the fish are big or small. But you are still about double a healthy stocking limit.

But you are still about double a healthy stocking thanks Sarah, so is over stocking the only reason my nitrates are at 20mg/l, what will it affect besides algae? will it give problems to any of my corals,my acropora and montipora don't seem to be doing so well, could it be nitrates?
