Input Needed...110G SW Livestock

[SpateD]

@ SeaHorse_Fanatic - You're correct, ULNS are desired by a lot of people and doing WC's has one main purpose, to lower nutrient levels. But thats the only thing keeping my SPS from living. I've been double dosing amino acids to try bringing my nutrient levels up so that my corals don't starve.

If you have any other explanations as to why my SPS slowly over 1-3 months turns white, has 0 polyp extension during the day, and massive extension at night.. It's not melting flesh, it's going white from tip to base, Alk levels are 7-8, so it's not burning them.. By all means throw out some ideas. I have tested for stray voltage, I'm using 250W 14k pheonix bulbs.

0 phosphates, 0 nitrates. My light cycle is around 12 hours for T5 Actinics and 10 hours for the Halides, and I have to clean my glass about once per week, and the algae I do develope on my glass is colorless and more like a hairy film that just makes it hard to see through.

You tell me whats wrong... But I have ULTRA ULTRA low nutrients.

@Fishytime - My tank has been running with this dry rock for almost a year now. and before that, the rock I used was in a tank cycled for over a year before I upgraded.
