These corals are the oldest in the tank, they were doing great until they closed up right around when I created this thread. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Little update here I've moved these guys around the tank, in and out of light and finally just took them out to do a real good inspection on them, they seem to be trying to open but don't completely open and most just stay closed. I noticed a few odd looking things on the bottom side of the rock...

The tank was a bit more awake(so am I :D), I cranked up the lights to get some better pics. These 3 pics show on the top rock mostly, it's a yellow stringy alge. Here's a few more of the red alge, this alge I'm not too worried about, it has seemed to stop growing, and from what I hear...

My lights are almost on for 12 hours but they have sunrise and sun set modes. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I've got both red alge and another alge that looks stringy, it's yellow/tan, and holds Air bubbles sometimes. I've got my phosphate test coming in the mail so I can't tell you guys my phosphate levels at the moment but my tanks having quite a few issues lately :/ Sent from my SM-G930V using...

Ok the Sweetlips is gone, she wasn't my favorite fish and after hearing here and reading up on the fish I decided to go fishing. Took about 30 minutes to catch her and honestly it seemed like luck but she's back at the fish store, I'm hoping to keep the puffer as the only somewhat aggressive...

Are the Sweetlips that aggressive? I wish I would have read up a bit more on them, the guy at local fish store didn't seem to mention that it would be much of an issue. So far everything is getting along. The Sweetlips is the biggest in the tank so far, might be a good idea to take it back...

Well I won't add the shrimp if it's likely to be eaten... is there anything exotic you can think of to add at this point? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Hey guys, been getting my questions answered on these forums and figured I'd keep asking away haha. I want to add one more fish to my tank, I wanted to get some input from the community though, I have a feeling I'll be told it's a bad idea. The Tank: It's a 55 gallon display with a 20 gallon...

Thanks guys, I'll see how it does for a few days and see how were lookin. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I've recently purchased a SM-121 for my 75 gallon reef tank. I've got about 6 fishies and quite a few snails and crabs, one sea star, and 3 small coral frags. The system has been up for a few months now, the skimmer running about 2 weeks. Initial break in period seems to be over. I am feeding...

Ok thanks, I'll grab those while I'm at the LFS today. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Ok, I need to do a water change today so I'll do that and retest and add what's needed. Is there a additive for alk and mag just like calcium? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Just tested my alk, test says 5dkh. I'm still quite new to the hobby and need to do a bit of research on what alkalinity actually is. I'm not sure what mag is and I don't have a test for it. Note that my other corals have been fine throughout the day, starting to close up now, it's almost...

I have had my calcium consistently just below 400, after weeks of trying to increase it with brightwell aquatics for a few weeks I bought the red Sea calcium additive and added what would get me up to 450 last night today my coral (not sure exactly of the name, if anyone know it would be...

I was running a florescent light, it had 3 bulbs 2 blue and 1 white. Not sure of their specific colors. Tank has microbubbles at the moment due to my skimmer break in period that should be finished soon. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Thanks for the help. Will I need to do this for each coral (and fish?) that I add to the tank? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Ok, I did not acclimate them to the lights. I'll turn them down a bit and see how they react. Thanks for the help guys. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I've noticed my corals too be looking a bit sluggish today water Parameters are all normal, temperature is a bit low, around 74 degrees Fahrenheit(Going to get new heater today) and I recently purchased 2 AI Prime HD LED lights. They sit about 1.5' to 2' away from the corals in the pictures and...
