My torch is it ok or not

[Rvs187]

It was doing great did a water change Saturday ever since then has been like this , should I be worried ?

I would say it definitely doesn't like something. I would calibrate and check your salinity first. Also, what is your water source?

 

[Nicholas Dushynsky]

How big of a water change did you do? We're the ratios the same as in salinity,temp,mag,cal,kh? Did you pour the water into the tank near the coral?

 

[Rvs187]

salt level 35 , rody water

Also, is it possible you may have hit your light or something. The reason I ask is, though its hard to see due to focus point, but ht torch behind it does look happy.

Is this the tank water, or the change water? Also, what are you using to check salinity, and if a refractometer, when was it calibrated and how old is the calibration fluid if it was calibrated. Sorry for the questions, but even myself, assumed that a new refractomoter or Hanna salinity checker would be right from the get go and it wasn't.

I always calibrate before checking the salt leve , using refractometer

I did pour the water in

 

[Billldg]

I would test the Alk, Cal, Mag, N03 and P04.

Near the coral? Was it alot of water and was it colder?

I little colder not a lot , it was near ... on Saturday

Test your salinity as above, was it a big water change? Also is everything else in your tank ok?

 

[Duncan Tse]

May have been just a crab or snail that hit it or soemthing. How are your other corals doing?

As long as the flesh isn't coming off it should be fine

Everything else is ok

 

[Nicholas Dushynsky]

Just keep an eye on it for a couple days.
