Reef Dying

[Devan Patel]

So you grew all those SPS colonies in those pictures? ...

Really sorry I thought this thread was for more other acount, on my other new tank. But this tank I bought used. Some of the things I’ve grown out and fragged but not much

 

[Devan Patel]

What are you levels though? You could be dosing that much, but how much is your tank consuming? If you're adding too much or too little, your alk will not be stable.

Calcium is at 360-375 PPM. Magniusum is 1560 PPM. And alkanlinity is 11.2 DKH

I could see it being the Alk. How's the nitrate and Phosphate?

All in check

All in check

What level is "in check?" If everything was "in check" you wouldn't have problems with your tank.

Nitrate is 3 PPM. And phosphate is 0.005

That phos is super low, unless you meant .05 which is still pretty low, same with the nitrates. Your alk is super high for those level of nutrients. Your calcium is also very low. And your mag is pretty high. Things are definitely out of whack

What were the levels when you bought this tank?

To be honest I’m not sure guy I bought from was not helpful to me at all. How much should I dose calcium too? and I’m not dosing mag I think it may be my salt because that’s the only thing that has mag. Yea not sure what happened to alk what should I do?

Calcium and alk are linked. Seeing your alk number coincides with low calcium mag is the bonding agent. That’s somewhat high as well. Too high of major elements can lead to angry corals. Ask me how I know.

 

[Poseidon03]

Mag should be 1350-1450
Alk should be 7-9
Calcium should be 400-460

Yea my Corals are really angry right now really could use some help haha. Don’t want my LPS corals to die I have massive colony’s and nothing is doing good they’ve been doing bad for almost 3 weeks now. What should I do?

Cyano

I’ve had cyano before this isn’t cyano it’s like orange. not sure I used chemi clean awhile ago though. Things seem to be doing better right now. Both of my torch’s are opened up a lot more now but my gold frogspawn is not looking too good earlier it was before I mixed up the sand. What should I do I’ve never seen it closed up before even at night
