      Thumbs down All soft corals oozing brown, not opening

      Tank: Nuvo20 AIO
      5 months running
      AI PRIME
      MP10QD - 30% Random (Reef Crest Mode)
      Media baskets running filter floss and carbon
      Reactor with bio pellets
      ATO
      Ghost skimmer (rarely run it)

      Tank Parameters:
      Temp: 80
      Ph: 8.2
      Salinity: 1.025
      Calc: 420
      Alk: 9.5
      Ammonia: 0
      Nitrate: .5
      Nitrite: 0
      Phos: 0
      Mag: 1280

      Dosing:
      BRS 2-part
      Aquavitro Fuel 2-3 times per week

      Issue: tank overall has been doing good, not perfect, but good. Haven’t lost anything.
      However I came back from being out of town a couple weeks ago and most of my soft corals are oozing brown a little bit and no full polyp extension. I really am struggling to figure out the issue in this tank and why my sps seem to be fine but my softies just never seem fully happy. I do 10% water changes weekly. I used to run Purigen media backers but stopped because I felt I was starving the corals. Only thing I’m still trying to figure out is what intensity is best with these AI primes. Everyone has a different opinion or setting on them. So I have no idea whether it’s too much light, not enough, etc. I took this setting from a reefer with a very successful tank. I am running this setting at only 50% in acclimation mode.

      Any ideas why my softies are pissed off and won’t open?
