Hi all,
Hope someone can help. I have been a marine tank keeper for 2 years+ now.
However never been as successful as some of you thus requires your help.
I have a 3-ft tank, with MH lights, a chiller, a protein skimmer and using 2 external
filters. I normally dose my tank with calcium, strontium, magnesium, iodide and trace elements.
I also do regular partial water changes, at least once a month.
However, I notice that my hardcorals (e.g bubble, hammer) can live at most to a period
of 3 months and my softcorals (e.g. leather, star polyps) can live at most up to 9 months.
For buttons its worst, at most its 1 or 2 months before it shrinks and dies. Worst of all I can't even
get coralline algae to grow in my tank. Fishes are not a problem for me.
I really do not want to keep on buying and killing these corals so does anyone know and can help
with my problem?
Really appreciate it! Thanks!!!
