Corral dying off and not opening

[Dfrashid]

So during the weekend I had a nam get caught up in my wave maker it was destroyed I took him out of the tank immediately and did a 20% water change now one corral which I've learned should of never been put in my tank is bleaching and another one which is LPS he's started to let go of its leafs and another LPS is not opening any help please? This tank hs been up and running about 4 weeks now i know i rushed and sorry you live and learn

calcium is quite high should be 400-450 other than that rest is fine nem should go in ur tank at 1 year mark is 2nd pic an sps (more of a lps guy have not done research on them) but i can tell you your tank is nowhere near ready for sps new tanks go off balance with params all the time you need basically no fluctuations with with sps you are going far too fast and wasting money slow down and see if u can keep some mushrooms alive

As stated in your other post, when a Nem is killed like that it is toxic to most other organisms in the tank. Likely this coral is feeling the effects of that. You did a water change, now run carbon or chempure to help remove the poison from the water.

As stated above, nems need a mature tank of at least a year and also special protective covers on powereads. The nem death may have released toxins into your tank. You need to run a good size bag of carbon and maybe 2 or 3 large water changes to clear it out.

I've been running Carbon since before the nem was killed should I replace the carbon?

I would run new carbon yes.

What do you think of this stuff?

What do you think of this stuff?

That stuff if just fine.

Chemipure Elite is good too has GFO if you're looking to bring those phosphates down a bit. under .1 is better.

Honestly I'd do another 20% Water Change too.

What's your ammonia levels?

Also if your Alk is 10.6 and Calc 550 your MG is probably high too.

Why so high? Are you dosing? Stop dosing. In that tank for now. You can dose later when you need it.

do a 20-35% water change and help balance out your params. Then just stop doing anything for a week, if anything dies take it out, otherwise just leave it alone and pray to the reef gods.

I'm not dosing only doing 20% water change and my ammonia it like .0 guessing cause I'm not good at matching colors and and nitrites are at 0.25 I bought new salt today hoping that's helps the purple bag is the new salt and the bucket is the old

Those params are crazy, for just normal salt mix.

You sure your testing right? Maybe bring into the LFS. See if they have a "SpinTouch" or other testing system or if they'll test for you.

What's your RODI Water source?

 

[Dfrashid]

I have my own set up of 7 stage RODI WATER and LFS test the same as I did but gave me the chemi-pure blue and now GFO to absorbs phosphate hopefully I'm not doing to much I used a half cup of GFO in a media bag fyi thats what the LFS tested

So as you know my phosphate are really high as well as my calcium do you think phyto fest and sea weed I'm feeling my tang is what's causing it? I added chemy-clear and GFO to the tank do you this is the right direction or anything else I can do to correct this
