[paulitosway]

need to test water. But It was like slowly going downhill.

Right after the birds nest finished dying the cyphastra started getting white also

Your post is like saying my dog got sick, why?
You have to give information.
You have to test.

Copy I’m sorry I’m kinda new to reefing and I’m kind of stressed. I get off work in two hours. I just did a water change that I should have done last week because I was doing weekly water changes but I skipped a week then I can get it an accurate alkalinity

Flow is an MP 10
Lights are a Radion XR 15 Pro set to AB plus slightly modified time

I think your tank may be too new for the type of coral you chose...

You are setting yourself up for rapid failure in this hobby unless you learn the basics of reef keeping first which involves water quality and maintaining proper parameters through regular testing.

Well, I’ll start testing the water daily, but what should I test daily alkalinity and magnesium and phosphorus?

 

[Rugops]

Alkalinity
Calcium
Magnesium
Nitrate
Phosphate
and to a lesser extent
Ammonia

You technically aren't maintaining the corals themselves but mostly the water which they are in which is why they are dead or dying as you don't know what the levels are.

The tank is not very new all rock scape has been redone. Tank old but I did kinda restart it back up recently. I suppose I should test more regularly add I will log it in apex. I will not give up

Tank is too young.
