Hi been a few days since my Zoanthids will not open enitrely.
I don't have any other problems with other corals in my tank.
How can i fix them? If there is any problem with them?
Potential causes to this i can think off would be;
1) two weeks ago i've treated my tank with Red Slime Removal medicine. Since then i am running activated carbon and i have performed 25% water change. Brown algae and cyano gone,sea weed is also going off. But also brittleworms are not coming on rocks in the night time as before.
2) Could be strong lighting? I have 4 T8 48 inch = 160 watt. Two actinic Blue 560 spectrum, one day light 50/50 6500k, one full day light 10000k. They are sitting on a rock a bit over the half water column.
3) a protein skimmer that produces tiny bobbles. This was also happening before without any noticeable effects.
4) i've removed the wave maker pump which was blowing on them, but they do still have light to moderate current.
5) In the night i am running some actinic blue led and a fascicule stays on them al night long.
6) Before i was using Kent marine salt now i am using Instant Ocean
7) an anemone sitting next to them?, she was closer before also
Water parameters;
1) temperature day 80 F night 78
2) 350 before, increased to -400-450 few days ago calcium
3) Ro water mixed with Instant ocean
4) 0 Nitrates or nitrides, 0 ammonia, some minor phosphates
5) water salinity 1.025, never lower than 1.024 or bigger than 1.026
Thank you
