I’m having this happen with one particular type of zoa and there’s 2 random polyps on a mother type my predators I fragged them a week or so ago and they all came out great and were open and then over the last 24hrs been a week plus since fragging. All of that type of zoa expelled their zooxanthellae and then guts came out after on some some don’t have guts come out and some the guts have gone back in I am using vibrant currently due to a seemingly never ending battle with GHA. No major changes in parameters I test atleast 2x a well using hanna checkers a lot of times every day I atleast check all every single day.
The parameters
Tested this morning before daily dose of 2part
Alk-8.7dkh
Ph-8.0
Nitrate-3.54
Phos-.07
Cal-457
Mag-1340
I am also dosing microbacter clean nitrates are usually around 7-10
So that’s lower than usual
Phosphates range from.05-.1 I used to shoot for .02 but I’ve started to try to keep it around.05
Alk I shoot for 9 with dosing but at the lowest sometimes it’ll get down to 8.2 if I forget a day of dosing and sometimes as high as 9.2
May stays between 1300-1350
Ph between 7.9-8.3
Calcium between 440-480
Never test ammonia or nitrite really tanks been setup for a while. And rodi is always 0tds I did do a 10 gallon water change with a different type of salt than I
Be been using the other day instead of the usual esv b ionic system I used aquaforest reef plus but it was 10 gallons on a 60 gallon system closer to 7 gallons really.
