Happy weekend everyone! I'm hoping someone can help me with something that has me scratching my head...
I have a green bubble-tip in my 90 gallon reef tank and until recently, it's been doing very well. I went away on vacation for a week and upon returning, it's been 'swollen' (filled with water) and the 'arms' have been completely retracted to the point they are almost unnoticeable. I have been back for six days now and its appearance in this state has been constant. I am doing another water change today for safe measure, but here are my parameters:
Sal - 1.026
Temp - 79
Nitrates - 0 showing on API liquid test kit (have also had tested at a store @ < .25)
Nitrites - 0
PH - 8.5
Phosphates - < 1.0 w/ API liquid test kit
Lighting - 6 - 54 W VHO (3 actinic, 3 white)
Tank is a standard 90 gallon with overflow & 3 power heads and over 120 lbs of live rock.
Any ideas why the anemone may be struggling? As always, your advise is MUCH appreciated!! :yay:
