my fault . one morning I noticed that suddenly 98% of corals were dead over night .. upon investigating i discovered that I had unplugged the sulphur denitrator circulation pump at some point mistakenly . when i plugged it back in i could smell a very strong odor of rotten egg from far away , meaning it was dripping hydrogen sulphide in my sump.
my question is how do i remove sulphur from the tank , i have done massive water changes . .changed almost 90% of my 90 gallon tank but the crumbled corals are not reviving and i am getting high readings for ammonia and nitrates . looks like the hydrogen sulphide killed all the anaerobic bacteria also ??
I have put some microbelift niteout bacteria starter but now i am getting red spots all over the rock too early to tell what it is.
I am desperately looking to test the water for sulphur but on web all test kits for sulphur is for fresh water .
NOTE: for some strange reason my Elegant, open brain , bubble corals got back to life 100% but rest of everything died . The fish were saved also.
maybe because as soon as i noticed corals dying i double dozed the tank with Prime.
attaching two pics . .one showing the red spots , the other showing the dead leather coral . this coral was two feet across when alive, 15 years old.
