Ok, i can not for the life of me grow sps corals. I can grow the daylights out of softies and anemones. What am I doing wrong? I know that's probably a really broad question but is there anything in particular I should start with looking into to improve my situation? Lighting? Calcium/Alk? Other parameters?
Thanks
Can you start by giving us some more information. How many gallons is your system. How long has it been set up? What is your salinity and what do you use to check it? Do you have an auto top off system?
What are your current water parameters (alk/ca/mg) and how often do you test for them? And what test kits do you use?
What are your nutrient levels (phosphate & nitrate)? How often do you test and what kits are you using?
What lights do you have? How far off of the water are they and what settings are you using if LED’s? Have you PAR’d your coral placement areas?
What happens when you put an SPS frag in your system?
Without these questions answered, it’s really just a crap shoot to guess your problems. Let us know and I’m betting we can help you. There are a lot of old school gurus on here!
