Coral help

[BabyShark]

UPDATED THREAD
Corals been closing up. Could it be dinoflagellates? Or something else?
SALT: 1.030
PH: 8.4
AMMONIA: 0ppm
NITRATE: 0ppm
NITRATE: 0ppm
Lighting scheduled for 8 hours from 12pm - 8pm.
Temperature is 77F
I recently changed this due to certain corals bleaching.
Here are some pics of my zoa with stuff on it and my galaxea.
I’m still new to corals so any help is appreciated.

Your SG is high at 1.030 - should be 1.025 - 1.026

Salinity probably a little too high. Should be closer to 1.025 or 1.026. Doesn’t look like dinos are irritating them.
Edit: above beat me to it!

Salinity is way to high! What’s the tank water volume? You need to lower your salinity and see if that helps. At that salinity level your stock won’t survive too long.

Thank you for the input.
I have a 55 gallon tank. I will lower the salinity and see how that goes!

 

[dbjonesjr]

Take it slowly. Lower it over a day or two if possible.

I agree with everyone, take a day or two and get your salinity down. You may want to think about getting your nitrate above 0. Is your phosphorus 0 as well? Too low of these nutrients can irritate corals and cause dino outbreaks. I learned this the hard way. Good luck.

+1 I’m dealing with dinos as we speak!
