Ok I found out that I think that snail was eating milka! He was hitchhiker probably. I will take some picture of it. About softs closing still nothing.. maybee my ati t5s are worn out.. they are 8 months old, I will change them in 2 days.

Hello seams no one is watching my treat, so I am helping myself.. I did dose some more aquaforest abc and kalium and all softies are opened exept kenya tree for now. I need dose some more... On green montipora were cianos so I took them off her. I will exchange light today.

I was watching. It sounded like you solved the problem? I would be VERY careful about changing lights if there are other problems - especially if you think there is bleaching going on. If you're going to do it - though - perhaps perhaps change only 1 at a time.

Honestly I was trying to understand what was wrong and looked at the photos but couldn't really see much. From the somewhat frantic posts I would say you are rushing things. Take a step back, let the tank stabilise and don't try to change 10 things at once.

Hi MnFish1 it all stabilized, all softies opened, seams like there was too little microelements.. I have increased dosage and then they opened. About bleaching, it wasnt bleeching but it was snail eating corals.. It came in with live clams, food for my Rostratos...From now on I freez my clams for food...Yes I will take things slow. If I close dosage of micros for a day they closes, if I dose they open in 3 hours.. But I have to be carreful not to dose too much, if so I will have algea boom... Looking for sweat spot now... My kalium is at 450 so I stoped dose it for now. Thank you and best wishes in 2019!
