hello fish friends,

I have only 1 test in the list the PH results are 8.1-8.2, other tests are ordred, maybe take 1 months.. I did a other water change today.. so two in two weeks of 60%.. should i order other cuc? or tests other then what MR seffieuk said?


the lights are on 12 hours a day? this correct?

You should test for

Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
Phosphate
Alkalinity
magnesium

Your CUC sounds ok, check water stats first as this could be your problem

I would reduce hours the lights are on too, may be 8 hours would be better

Ok, as we need to wait for the test kits, reduce the lighting as Trod suggests and do weekly large water changes until we get the results - could you take your water samples in to a lfs and ask them to test for you? oh and, don't over feed

by the way Mr Seffieuk is a Mrs but just Seffie is fine

Thank you friends for all the help

how much should i feed? the correct amount would be? no fish stores in this area sadly. I redused the hours to 8 hours of lighting.. I have also noticed a new problem the clowns live in one of my corals as seen in picture.. I have noticed where the clowns sleep the coral is dead all the middle of coral is gone only sides where fish do not rub is alive.. should I try to remove the coral to other area?

my Thanks

What are you feeding? If you move the coral the clowns will only move with it, what sort of coral is it?

Seffie ?

the food is "Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef Marine Flake Food" and "Kent Marine Phytoplex Additive"

The coral is a Colony Polyp from what i understand
