Hello everyone! First of all thanks for the great information. I have a 4 month old 45 gallon shallow reef tank with a 20 gallon sump refugium. I have recently added 4 blue leg hermits and a small colony of zoanthids. I did a temperature acclimation for the Zoas ( about 20 minutes) then added them to the tank. They haven’t opened yet and it’s been two weeks. My parameters as of this morning are as follows:
Temp: 79
Ph: 8.0 -8.2
Ammonia, nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10-20ppm
I’ve read countless threads on this issue but just haven’t found anything that helps. I do weekly water changes and use reef crystals. Could it be that I don’t have any fish? I’ve read that Zoas like “dirtier” water.
