All,
I am on month 16 of my 180g tank and all my acros end up peeling within the 1st 4 wks. I have gonisx3, duncan coral, setosa, and forest fire digi that are surviving (but not thriving) in their first 3 months.
I have fine tuned my geo618 where my alk=7.2-7.6 at all times. Initial assumption was my light acclimation was poor with my kessil ap700x2. But based on par levels done by BRS/Riddle, and the fact I tried acclimating from first down low then up top, it mostly eliminates that.
I finally decided to get a Triton ICP and the results are attached.
Elevated Tin seems to be the main issue. Researching r2r, besides tearing down my tank for a screw, what does the consensus say? I'm guessing do a bunch of water changes then pay for another test?
Any other options or thoughts on my results?I do use marinepure so thats why my aluminum is high too.
