Parameter Swing

Hi. I have an issue with high calcium in my nano tank. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations on how to reduce it? Or should I just leave it alone?

I have a issue with my BTA seen at the end of the video. All my other corals are doing fantastic and really pushing out polyps. But the anemone has not wanted to get larger than it currently is. It moved there when I put it in the tank almost a month ago. Any tips or ideas what the problem could be?

So, I finally broke down and bought some Hanna Checkers, I've been in and out of the hobby since the late 80s and have always relied on titration tests but with my latest system I have not been able to nail down my parameters, I tested one number and my LFS with my own test kit tested a wildly different number. I know these test kits vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer and from user to user but my own back to back tests were all over the place. I know Hanna tests have variations but for me and my old ass eyes it's much easier to read a digital number display than try to distinguish between shades of pink, blue and green.

My frogspawn corals have stopped opening up for some reason any thoughts ?

Alk 9.5

Cal 493

Who knew reef keeping was so hard. You get one parameter sorted then the rest blow up in you face, Ughhhhh.

Hi Reefers, I need some guidance here, this torch is closed up and has been for the last 4 to 5 days vs all the others, I’m attaching my parameters and just got back a ICP test, I don’t see anything major from a Parameter standpoint, I’m running Hydro Edge 32 and haven’t changed any settings.

Well I got my triton lab results in there were 12 screen shots and it will only let me load 8 but anyway even with weekly water changes my iodine is low guess it’s time to dose that now

Currently an LPS & Softy tank… Could I look into SPS with these Parameters?

I am concerned about my toad stool it has been 14 days since it last opened and I am concerned that a spike in PH has killed it.

Thoughts?

I dont think these guys are happy. My alk admittedly swings from 7.7-8.3 every couple of days. I do weekly water changes(5gal in a 18x18) I dose .75ml Seachem Fusion 2 every 2 days. My salinity is 1.025. Nitrate is right around 5 but phosphate gets a little high 0.20. I dont have a bio bioload but I run a skimmer. Ammonia and nitrite 0.

Some numbers are great, some need work, and that’s reefing.

No panic moves, no chasing numbers. Just adjusting, watching coral response, and letting the system settle.

I have recently set up a new tank and moved all my coral and fish over everything is doing good and parameters are pretty stable but this green hammer coral has shrunk back a lot. Any suggestions would be great on how to save it!
