Alveopora help
Hi, just a question?
I have this alveopora coral that was once one of my favorite pieces in the tank. I have heard caution regarding the difficulty of this coral to keep but I have also heard that it is not nearly as difficult as its cousin the goniapora. Anyway it is slowly dying - here is a couple of photos to show how. the coral was purchased on 9/21/07 and the first picture was taken on 10/7/07, the second picture was taken about 2 months later on 11/27/07. So does anyone have any suggestions of how I might help this coral? Is this coral just a goner and I should just accept it and move on. by the way for informational sake 125g tank 3x250w mh lighting 20000k de bulbs no other lighting 30gallon sump/fuge with chaeto about 3600 gallons/hour in water movement Salinity 1.025 Nitrate - 0 ammonia - 0 dkh - 9.0 calcium - 420-450 ph - 8.0-8.2 temp - 78-82 these parameters are all that I currently measure and all of them stay pretty constant. I do have a bit of a hair algae problem currently too as the tank is still relatively newly set up (first live rock went in on August 1, 2007) I am doing about 10 gallons/week water changes to battle this and I use only ro/di water. thanks very much for your input.
