Help got issues with my new set up.

Nice setup looks great! The corals could just be adjusting to the new Kessils. They tend to look dim but they can burn corals easily if turned up too high. Do you have them on a controller? What setting are they at currently? I would start at around 40% intensity and ramp up slowly over the next couple months. My A360 is 14" above the water and it maxes at 65% intensity. I'm thinking it could be the lights. Good luck hope you figure it out soon.

Thank you!... The thing is, the kessils were on my bow front and everything looked good. Moved it all to the 75 gallon and now I got these issues. The lights sit little more than a foot above the water. It is at 50% intensity now. I started them off at 40%. I really hope that I get it figured out and it is something simple like lighting.

No I meant lighting, flow, or salinity. You feeding the corals anything ?

Also have you added anything to the water ? Or had anything on your hands like lotion or anything.

Ahh prob not lighting then. I thought maybe you upgraded to Kessils along with the new setup. Sounds like its something else then. I was thinking it could be going through a mini cycle but you're tests look good. I'm sure things will get better soon but I'd run carbon and do a 50% WC and see how things go from there.

I do have carbon in a mesh bag in the sump. I'll do a water change today and post my result. I'll also be posting pictures of how my corals look during the day. Thanks everyone for your feedback. Keep it coming. I appreciate all the suggestions and advice.

Definitely need to test mag alk and cal. That might explain things

Ok what type of chalking are you supposed to use for making a sump. The person that made the sump just used regular waterproof chalk to connect the baffles to the 40 gal breeder. My corals look horrible but my snails, hermits, and emeralds are all alive. Could this be the problem? If this is the problem, is there any way to save my corals or bring them back?
