Re: Corals Will Not Open
Are you currently running any straight carbon? Your parameters look to be good, although i dont see anything about your magnesium levels. I may be blind though.

Re: Corals Will Not Open
No mag test kit. But I have old carbon filter pad getting new one tomorrow. But running fluval clearmax phos. Nitrate. Nitrite remover
Re: Corals Will Not Open
If you can get that tested somewhere by you I would. I had some issues with my lps when my magnesium was low, specifically some acans and chalice. Not sure how far you are but i could also test it for you.

I live in bay minette. But I wrote b&b facebook page and asked if they sale the test kits for mag and now I'm waiting for a reply.
Re: Corals Will Not Open

Re: Corals Will Not Open
Parameters so far look good im still worried about your mag levels though. Are the lps still closed or partially closed?
