First to start off here are my parameters. These are tested with an API kit as well as the red sea reef pro kit.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate:~20
Nitrite:0
kH: 10.6 dkh
Temp: 79
Salinity: 1.025
Mg: 1600+ (way high, how can I lower this?)
Ca: 470 ppm
So I'm not sure what's going on but I am super worried. So at first, I noticed my snail acting very very weird.. Then I noticed he was basically coming out of his shell. He's also got white stringing stuff hanging off of him. He's not dead and his trap door isn't shut but what could cause this? My other snails are also being v ery lethargic and weird so I'm very concerned with this. Pictures incoming...
On top of this I also noticed today one of my purple mushrooms broke off his piece where he was attached to and is free floating through the tank and none of them are opening up. They were in a moderate flow area and acting like they were trying to get away from the flow so I moved them..
ON TOP OF THIS...my branching hammer coral won't open so something has ****ed them off... normally they're open and flowing and happy..
But now they look like this...
Just a bit more information. The only thing I added to my tank was a mandarin goby who has been doing good eating both pods and mysis shrimp...I also built a DIY copepod hotel that I saw online made out of gutter guard..I rinsed this properly in salt water and figured this was adequate cleaning measures so MAYBE this leaked something into the tank? Otherwise, I'm at a loss of words and I hope my tank isn't crashing..
29 gallon tank.cycled in 10 days with all live rock, biospira, never had a ammonia spike but had all the normal nitrite to nitrate...Tanks been up for 45 days.
The only thing MAY have got in is a glass cleaner, IF, it can leach through the tank glass which seems impossible to me. otherwise, I manage the tank and My girlfriend just watches.
Otherwise,
The only livestock is 2 false percs which are perfectly happy, and various other snail's and hermit crabs.
ps:
I have a 1200 gph powerhead in the tank to provide circulation.
a 100W heater set to 79*..and a fluval HoB filter that I only run after water changes to help suck up any extra poop (literally and figuratively)
Last water change was done on Saturday..my salinity was low (1.023, due to error in swinging arm test)..so I bought a refractometer and it is now 1.025.
Edit: I am also in the middle of a diatom bloom which has been going on for a week or so.
