What is the best way to get my system back to normal....everything has been humming along quite well for about 1.5 years now.
I've gotten a little lazy with water changes and low and behold I'm starting to have problems.
Soft coral button polyps and mushroom corals starting to not look as good as they used to. Just lost 2 emerald crabs.
Just tested everything and I am off on my parameters.
75 Gal - FWLR (1 perc clown, 1 yellow tang, 1 6 line wrasse, 1 cleaner shrimp, 10 astrea snails, 50 nessarius, 12 hermits)
Salinity 1.25
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 15
PH 7.8
Calcium 900+
#1 I know that water changes are the best solution to the problem and also the best way to prevent this from happening again.
I am using Oceanic Salt and think that may be why my Calcium levels are so high - at least I've read on this board that they have too much calcium in their mix.
I use the A and B Ionic Blend....A is Calcium and B is Alkaline. Should I add some B and no A?
Any input would be greatly appreciated and shame on me for getting lazy with water changes!!!!!!!!
