Hi all, I'm looking for help because I've done everything that I could think of and don't know what to try next. I'm almost 6 months into the hobby. Have a 75g with Led china box lights, sump setup with skimmer and fuge, power head 1200gph, 800gph, and 2 jebao rw-8 wave maker.
I have 6 small Zoas maybe 12 heads on the biggest one, one people eater, pink montipora, todds torch, Xenia, very small green star polyp and 4 very Smal frags of birdnest.
For fish 2 clowns, yellow tang, 5 chromis, tiny blue hippo.
All has been well and corals were growing significantly, torch began splitting, monti almost doubled zoa added heads up until 1.5 months ago. Only thing I can think of that changed is power went out at that time , I was at work so tank didn't have good circulation maybe 8 hours, not knowing that I should and busy with work and college I didn't change water until 2 weeks ago when corals started dying. Before I noticed issue I added hammer and 2 mushroom frags which were not doing well so have to a friend to recover. Monti started bleaching, zoa only open about half way since that power outage. Fish doing great torch seems happy and forgot to mention I have small acan that's really happy. In past 2-3 weeks I did total of 3 water changes and even playing with led lights trying lowering intensity allowing more blue. It was suggestion from friend that's been in hobby for a while. Nothing seems to work zoa still won't open all the way. Monti seems to be stable not bleaching more than it did. I'm also trying to change flow around.
SG 1.025 my last water change I lowered to 1.023 friends suggestion to try. Ammonia nitrate and nitrite all 0. pH is 8.0. Phosphates like 0 (could be the issue?) ca 400ppm. Carbonated hardness 9 dKh
I use ro/di water.
I'm lost and don't know what do i miss my blooming corals. Please help.
