Is this bleaching

[Fishology]

My frogspawn is bleaching I believe this t was fine yesterday until I moved it a bit for up now it’s closed and losing color I moved it back we’re it was before, anyway to stop it, it make it come back I already does alk, mag,calcium.
My tests are
Cal 500
Alk 89
Nitrate 3ppm
Phosphates I think zero
There very low it was perfect yesterday how did it get to bad so quickly

alk 89 ppm? that is very low thats like 5 dkh bring it up to 8-9 (slowly)

nitrates are low get them to 10-15

phosphates also need to be up to like 0.05-0.1

calcium is a little high at 500 but i don't think this is the problem get it too 450

Is there still hope for this coral or is it a lost cuase?

it does not look bad just unhappy sort you're water out and it will bounce back

is the alk really 89 ppm? or 8.9 dkh

89ppm it only took five-6 drop to show

yea thats 5dkh should be 8-9ppm can you dose alk raise it slowly have you got another test to check? that seems very very very low

 

[Dave1993]

also raise phosphate up and nitrate euphyllia like dirty water

its coming up to xmas i would say invest in Hanna alk and calcium checkers

I did another test just for alk it was at 5dkh

 

[Fishology]

also raise phosphate up and nitrate euphyllia like dirty water

I have a 5g with only nano fish do you think I can use that water

 

[Fishology]

Thanks for the help by the way

 

[Dave1993]

sry had to go afk whats the alk in that water if you raise the alk too fast it will shock the coral and it will end up dying best to dose it up slowly and dose nitrates and phosphates too

 

[Dave1993]

how are the corals doing today?

Better I’ve been doing small doses of alk, and have fed a lot more, the strings are still small but are no longer retracted as much
