so i went to my lfs today and they said my alk was super low so i added one dose of sea alk for my 29 gallon tank and now my xenia are all wilted when they were pumping perfectly, my duncan is also shriveling! i have no idea what happened! i added it to chamber three so it would be dispersed through the system! idk what happened! everything else is fine but those corals seem to be withering away!

You have to make changes slowly. Sounds as though you added to much at one time. You might want to do a water change.

/sigh I just bet that LFS sold you the alk suppliment too? Said you needed it for your Xenia...

Was there something wrong that you were worried about alk level in the first place?
Some good advice is if all looks well don't fudge with it... Stability is key, my guess is the dose of alk caused a spike that ****** everything off. When dosing its always a better idea idea to drip it in SLOWLY, especially on such a small tank. Hope they come around for you.
