Hello
I am writing to ask for some info about my new euphyllia. It is the first time I get one and I have it now for a couple of days. I have a juwel Rio 240liters aquarium with the recommended led lights for a reef tank(white 14000K 21W and actinic blue 21W). I know it is said that these are weak lights with low par for corals, but I got my bubble tip and palys long time ago and they seem to do fine and growing. That's why I decided to test some more needy corals.
Calcium 410
KH 9
nitrates and phosphates close to 0(but not 0)
Magnesium 1280.
25C temperature
3 powerheads
The euphyllia seems to be in the same condition as when it was in the LFS 's tank but I have just noticed some black spots on the tips, at the place where fluorescent yellow colour should be. I don't remember if it was exactly like this when I got it, but I would like to know whether this is an indication of bad lighting or something else. I can put it higher or lower but for now it is in the middle of the tank.
The tank is cycled 2 months ago so there are some initial problems with hairy algae and green glass that I hope I will overcome at some point. So any info on the euphyllia's state would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
