Hello, sorry for this long post but i need help figuring out what is going on with my tank. Tank is a Red Sea 750. About a month ago I had GHA bloom and I did a dose of reeflux which took care of the problem no more GHA. I then started to notice some cyano red and did a dose of chemiclean (which i have used in the past without problems. I went away in vac for a week, when i came back was when i notice at that time was cyano and did the chemiclean treatment. Then i started getting this brown stringy stuff all over the sand bed (dinos?) When i came back 2 days later i noticed that the wrasse that i had was gone, i thought maybe it was hiding because it tends to do that but i have not seen it so I’m am assuming its gone. My anenomes (2) started getting stringy, one i took out this morning it was gone, the other is hanging on not looking so good. Elk horn I had completely bleached. My torches and hammers are looking very stringy. I spoke up this morning to a dead cleaner shrimp ( he was fine last night).
I just tested my parameters and they are:
Salinity 1.025
alk: 8.11 dKH (apex trident)
Ca: 309 ppm (apex trident)
Mag: 1204 ppm (apex trident)
pH: 8.08 (apex)
Temp: 80.4 (apex)
PO4: 0 (salifert kit)
NO3: 0 (salifert kit)
NO2: 0 (API kit)
Ammonia 0 (api kit)
I have never dosed this tank with any supplements as I’ve never had issues with corals, they seemed happy. My p04 is 0 and nitrates 0 which i thought it was supposed to be? But I’m reading other threads and they shouldn’t be right at 0?
I don’t know what else to do..so i need your expert help and again thank you for those that took the time to read this long post, i hope it all makes sense.
