I had a bubble that done great until it took a tumble. It went down hill from there. Hopefully yours will be ok. Mine liked less light and medium to low flow to completely expand.

Once they rip a bubble they usually don't recover. I have only seen them recover once. This is working in salt exclusive store back in 2000-2007

So a bubble might have piped and the iodine might have been too much thanks guys I'm not going to get a coral till I know the problem tho I'm literally right next to the pet sore about to get it tested

This is why it's best to have your own test kits and to perform the tests yourself.

Ok if all = alk that was what I didnt understand take 175/50x2.8 and youll get tour alk number.
So your alk is 9.8 which is good.

bknapp · Apr 11, 2013

Here's an easier translation from ppm to dKH.

175*.056=9.8

Just less math which in my book is always a good thing.
