ok guys, help me out..the soft coral shown below is slowly shrinking and was about 6 times bigger when purchased about 6 months ago...
setup is as follows:
72gal
only other corals in tank are shown in second picture (bubble and greenie)
no fish are picking on him
nitrates are the lowest they've been in six months (and i think his shrinking is contributing )
phosphates are low
alk is a little high
ph is slightly low
salinity is dead nutz on
ive tried:
new 10k MH replacements (running for a week)
new blues (running for two)
phytoplex (2 or 3 times in two weeks)
coral accel (same)
i feed once a day, alternating flake and frozens (brine,prime reef, formula 2)
i would take him out and bring to my LFS to see if he does better but hes pretty planted to my rocks
any ideas?? thanks so much as usual...
