I have some zoos and one mushroom that I got at the last meeting in the raffle. I am new to the hobby. I have a BC 14 and I will give some parameters, Sal 1.024 all other numbers at 0 and the nitrates are about 5. The only other thing that I test for is calcium which is about 480. I run my lights 10 hours per day 10 for the actinics and 8 on the "white" lights. When the lights first come on the zoos are wide open and seem to look good and then as the day goes on they seem to close some and not look as healthy. I had them initially up on the top of the rock which would only be about 5 inches from the lights and when I moved them down they started doing better.
Alot of rambling so the question is is there something that I should be testing for that I am not or should i use carbon or what is recommended?
I do 20% water change weekly and I dose with Bionic 2 part daily? Please keep in mind that i am very much a noob.
