Hey reefers, so I have an issue that may not be an issue. I have a 46 gal tank that has a few fish and corals but I feel like my corals aren’t doing well and I just want to know if there’s anything that I can do. I have a few toadstool leathers that aren’t showing any color. One of them has very pale green while the others are completely brown. They’ve been like this for about a week now. I know my phosphates are a bit high so I’m using phosguard and testing my water parameters almost every day but I just want to know if I’m missing something. I have a small zoanthid garden, clove polyps, GSP, and some mushrooms that are doing well and seemingly growing normally but the leathers look dull. I put a single drop of lugol’s solution a few days ago as per my dad’s instruction. I have a feeling I’m overthinking it and I just need to wait but I’d like to check with the online community.
My setup:
Light: Current USA 24”-36” LED
Flow: Hydor Koralia 3G 1950GPH
(I have extra pumps but it is seemingly enough flow. Not quite sure)
Seachem Tidal 55 HOB filter running a small amount of Phosguard mixed with activated carbon and bio media
Eheim Heater hooked up to an ink bird temp controller
eshopps HOB skimmer (don’t remember which model. I can add a pic if needed)
