Reefing newb
3 weeks ago I had a severe case if ich that would not go away for anything. I tried all the reef safe meds, ( kick ich, rx-p, parasite gone, etc ) after having no luck with a med tank on my tangs i had no choice but to removed most of my live rock and coral and coppersafe my tanks due to being out of town for 3 days. After about 6 days I neutralized my copper to 0, and did heavy water changes, re-cycled my tank with more live rock and reef water. All levels are better than ever. since all of this my coral have not been opening up as normal, Green zoo's stay mostly closed, Ganipora does not extend as it should and star polyps don't come out like they used to. Yesterday i decided to by a XL leather that was extremely healthy and once installed in my tanks it as of now, has not opened up as it should either. I am running a protein skimmer, and UV sterilizer and doing weekly water changes to ensure top quality water. skimmer is going pretty crazy and water is crystal clear. I am running B-Ionic for calcium and alkalinity. One problem I am having is that my water is at 85 degrees and have been using ice bags and cool water changes to bring temps down. ALso running a box fan besides the tank that is showing to help temps down to the 80-82. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks! :question: :question:
