No my nutrients are steady been testing alot and dosing kh twice a day

I think he was asking if you have any nitrate or phosphate present. The coral looks like it could be deprived of some nutrients.
Along with that, what are your parameters?

 

[Ash321]

Yeah i have nitrate and phos present . Nitrate is 16ppm (was alot higher when i bought the digi)
Phos is 0.08-0.012
Alk is 8.1 ( keep it the same with dosing)
Sg is 1.026
Testing my mag and calc now but they are high so i doubt be a concern.

I have a sailfin maybe he nipped it? Also crabs and a urchin they seem to go over everything at night

What about flow? They seem to like lots of it...

Has reasonable amount of flow have gyro facing it and the outlet from the sump pump pointed down its way

Mine would do that when I had alkalinity swings. Once stable again, they would recover.

O ok thanks maybe me dosing 5ml in two hits over a day is to much of shock ! Iv bought a doser now so il try spreading it out

 

[Flippers4pups]

What your doing before should be okay, are you dosing into a sump?

 

[Fishfinder]

There's a lot of good polyp extension. Stability and it should recover from that

It does look amazing now when my nitarte was high and kh was up and down its just looked porous !

 

[Fishfinder]

Ya that instability will cause problems. Good steady levels and it will recover. Ive bought that even stability on No3 and PO4 is big for good color

 

[Flippers4pups]

I also found that in the past when I would get high N03, around 40ppm, my polyp extension lessons and color pales. I dose vodka to maintain 10-20 ppm.

 

[Fishfinder]

DANG! wish I could get up there lol

Sorry missed this response. Yeah just manually into my sump.

 

[FindingNem0]

I dose 5-10mil over a 1hour period. It creates a more stable environment. If you're just pumping 5mil straight into the tank that could cause problems depending on tank size.

 

[Flippers4pups]

Just keep your pramameters stable and it should recover.

Mine have gone through this before and, as I said, they come back. My caps are the ones that take the longest to recover when I change something to quickly:

I was killing some manjaro's with kalk paste a few weeks ago and they got burnt a little.
