Reverse your light cycle night time temps are cooler so run your lights at night. Also extra fan in canopy will help.

From your bio your skimmer should be good for your for your 55 gal tank, as long as you are getting good foam production. Keep the skimmer clean and make sure the venturi stays open and clean that will maximize foam Production. Wet or dry skimate is up to you, I aim somewhere in between. too wet...

Give the brain 2-3 inches of room all around min. Ricordia likes bright light more colorful ones tend to like more light, don't place them too high too fast. Try under the light but more like the bottom third of the tank.

Be Careful Turbinaria are sensitive to mushroom corals as well and that brain (Platygyra) can be aggressive with sweeper tentacles

Given time and keeping the area clear of algae it most likely will re-colonize the area. I purchased a colony with smaller damage and it over grew the damaged spot. Your colony is already established and may recover faster, Make sure it continues to get good flow so no detritus builds up on the...

Just make sure it is receiving adequate flow. You can also feed it which will help it regenerate lost tissue. I still say the best way to lower nitrates is water changes, also gets tank back in balance chemically. More live rock , less carbon input as well as you may want to investigate Deep...

Frogspawn Coral (Euphyllia paradivisa or E. Divisa) can be very aggressive It can send out sweeper tentacles up to 6 inches. Damage from fall on to another coral or just the rocks. or lg hermit crab or fish stealing food, Large water change with RO water and substrate vacuuming will get your...

Your build looks fantastic. You may consider one minor adjustment. I think your overflow should be lower than the top glass. It may give you a place for the water to go if the teeth become blocked.

in my opinion you should spend the few extra $ and get the mag 5. I have been using them for years and they are well worth the extra money.

PH Changes at night when photosynthesis stops and more co2 is builds up maybe that changes bubble creation or stability.

I would suggest starvation High bright light Iodine additions will help. Feeding may help do some research heard they like urchin eggs.

Was the coral completely deflated when you moved it from tank to tank? If not the tissue could have torn during move.

Can you use some bleach to clean off the mold? Also try a google search i just did found a few companies who sell them.

There are many variables to your question. First you need to establish what you are going to put in the tank. Anemones and hard corals do not mix well. usually the anemone ends up moving around and stings your corals. Leathers, mushrooms, zoos are tougher and will fair better in a tank with...

PowerBrite Lighting System Has any one tried this out yet?

got to have both. One without the other is like breathing with your heart stopped.

and by the way that trachyphyllia aka Open Brain in the photo should not be on the rocks, it should be in the sand on the bottom.

I agree with ViPeR_930 100% on the ID.

Leather corals when "happy" often enlarge greatly weeks or months after being introduced into our tanks. Take it as a good sign and keep up the good work. Also keep in mind that "Purple up" contains Iodine so be careful about over dosing, you also seen to have a light bio-load so you may want to...

I have A Euphyllia Paradivisa (branched Frogspawn) Coral for about 6 months with a pair of Amphiprion ocellaris False Percula Clownfish I have seen no ill affects to either. The clowns were tank raised and very small when purchased approximately 2 months before the coral. I later added a second...
