So here's my problem.
For about 6 months, my aquarium sat up in my room. I slowly started putting coral and such in and everything was fine. Coraline was growing, clowfish were showing signs of mating, and so on.
Well I decided to start a Mantis Shrimp tank and I couldn't have both tanks in one room upstairs for obvious reasons. So as delicatly as possible, I transfered everything downstairs. I caught all fish and placed them in a bucket, took all non-attatched corals out and put them in a 10g with a filter and light, and tried to keep as much original water as possible. In the process, I did move alot of detrius and sand, causing a mini spike. But once everything was aqua scaped new, all was better and I only had to add one new 5g bucket of pre mixed saltwater.
NOW. My main problem is my corals are acting wierd to say the least. Some open normally and fast, others take all day to open, some open then close then open again. BUT no fish or invertabrets are acting odd. All is normal. Some have actually gotten better.
I have Zoo's, Leather's, Frogspawn, Torch(acting the wierdest), Hammer, Mushrooms, GSP, Daisy Clovers, Ric's, and Goniporia. No SPS.
Mind you, I do use tap water but it is very pure and I condition it for at least a day using two different water conditioners. I let all salt dissolve before putting it in.
Im running a HOB filter for up to 75g, a Aqua C Remora HOB skimmer, 2 MJ 1200's, I have T5HO lights running from 10a.m. to 12 p.m. give or take a hour or two, I feed every 2 days, and I dont dose anything.
My tank is a 55g with well over 100lbs of premium live rock along with 60lbs of live sand.
Water Parameters are as follows:
PH - 8.0
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrates - 0 to 10
KH - 200ish 11-12DKH
Phospates - 0.5
Calcium - 520
This is alot to take in. I understand that. The only thing I can think of is that the corals weren't in the same spot with the exact same flow and lighting. Im think that they are just getting used to their new area. The tank has been downstairs for about a week. I also did a 50% water change 2 days ago.
Hope you can help *Fingers Crossed*
