Pink Pocilloporo help, please
Hi, reefers. I need some help.
My Pink Pocilloporo has been receding here as of late. I have no idea what is causing this. It is one of the nicer pieces of coral I own. The parameters are: SG 1.025 Alk: 10.22 Ca: 449 Mag: 1520 NO3 and PO4: 0 I’m using the Red Sea Reef Control Program. I dose automatically to maintain stability. Ignore the system information shown below. It needs changed. Thanks Chief out

Pink Pocilloporo help, please
I would say lack of flow and/or light reaching the underside.
Your alkalinity is also too high for nutrient levels that low IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has you nutrients always been that low? If my numbers hit zero I start to have weird stn from either top or bottom but I don’t normally run zero so it’s a change from the normal.

Zero N and P is not a good number for any corals.
N being 2-5ppm and P being 0.03-0.07 has always worked well for me. |
