Green slimer sps

[brand]

Happy thanksgiving to everyone first off.

The base of my slimer is white and one other sps is getting white dead spots ..

What do I do water parameters are good .

Please let me know what's going on.

I added 10 more watts of aqua blue led . I don't think that should make difference .

Help 911 .

 

[Jarrett]

if they are white dead spots, check for AEFW

It may be AEFW or since you green slimer is brown it can be you parameters or it might not be getting enough light

I added picture in original post ..

Jarret acro eating flat worms ?? What does that mean ?

 

[brand]

AEFW duke what does that mean ? Thanks in advance .. Yes its brown but with blue lights is green if that helps.

 

[Jarrett]

it is a flat worm that preys only on acros. but like duke said i don't suspect that i suspect a parameter issue. because the coral is brown and it looks like it is STN. why don't you post your levels and we can see if anything is wrong with them.

 

[brand]

STN ? Ok when I get back home I test everything . Which parameters do you need ? nitrate is 0 phosphate .02 ammonia?? haven't checked but should be good ...calcium 500.

Thanks again .. Let me know going to stop by pet store on way back..don't want to lose my sps

Ok did some internet search and have to treat in separate tank and put in coral dip for about three weeks will still check water but rest of tank good so far.

Thanks jarret and duke.

The sps infront of that looks like crap as well. I would def. imagine your tank parameters are way off

 

[Awibrandy]

What test kit are you using, and how old are they?
What lights are you using, and how old are they as well?

Pars to check are the following:
Temperature
PH
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
Alkalinity
Magnesium
Calcium
P04
Something is off in your tank.

They are new api test kits I will check all those parameters .

Led lights everything else is growing one sps is ok but its new ..

Thanks.

 

[Awibrandy]

API test kit is okay for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, ph, but for the others not so good.

Best to get some middle range test kits like "Salifert", and Hanna Checker for P04. Vendors on MR are the most reasonably priced to get them from. Most LFS will charge darn near double the price.

Best wishes with your tank!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you, and your's as well.

This looks more than just AEFW, it looks like straight up STN to me. You should cut the base and glue the good piece to a rock, and just throw out the whited out base. As for the color, it appears that you do not have sufficient lighting because it's browning out. What kind of lights do you have and what is your schedule?

120 watts led . I worried about to much.

Very bright .

I will do that good idea ..to reglue . Others have inside maybe cut off ???


Thanks all for your ideas ..

Definitely Cut a few millimeters about the white base just for certain that you cut the whiting out.
