[Reeffun777]

I have about a 3 inch of bounce that has turned white but bubbles are still of good color some are not opening how do I save this from dieing

hi,can you post pic? @LRT @MERKEY

 

[MERKEY]

Pics would definitely help

If you keep bounce for long time and just turned white, need to check salinity, kh, calcium.

Lighting can shock a coral and bleach it or make it look pale. The coral dumps its zoanxthelle when it dosent think it needs it. Low light and it should start to darken or brown back up. Lots of time and effort im afraid. Watch your waters chemistry too. When low phosphates and nitrates the water can become very clear. Making the light more bright to the coral.

What lights are you using? You can turn the % down 10 or 20%?

How old is your tank?

What are the parameters?

Tank is around a yr old the live rock has been in my tanks for a long while I got the initial tank just transferred water ect ran fine for 7 yrs no problem I switched tanks then this happened all parameters Are good I did turn down the lights is there anything I can do to ensure it will survive? Bacteria ect additives?

Unfortunately I haven't been able to solve the melting shroom riddle. I've tried probably everything except a Zpac dip to date and nothing has helped.
Following along to see what happens

Best advice I have is to shade it for now.

I second this and give a gentle dip w/ Chemiclean and a couple drops of iodine.

Make sure its in a low flow spot too. I had some sunkist bounce's in my new tank start to bleach out on me so I put them back in the old tank. Doubt thats an option though. So low flow and low light and a gentle dip I wish you good luck.

The chemiclean dip is definitely something I haven't tried. What do you reckon it helps with? Also whats your dip protocol using chemiclean as dip? Wouldn't hurt me to experiment with this and see what happens next time

The colors we see are actually the corals defense to uv rays. So when they loose that color the light just burns right through them
