Will my corals die?!?! Huge alk swing

[Just a little hobby]

Very true! What about bounce mushrooms?

I have an uranium bounce and it is not as hardy as Rhodactis but still quite easy to care for just do not put it under heavy lighting.

High lighting can cause them to kind of melt. My Superman bounce disappeared but this was because of my emerald crab I think as I am convinced emerald crabs are not reef safe completely but that is for another thread.

Too much light and flow mess bounces up. My uranium bounce had too much of both and melted. I have it in quarentine recovering in a shot glass and it is slowly recovering but it's a super slow process.

I don’t particularly dose that often unless I need to as I find doing water changes and regular maintenance is much easier and has the same effect. Dosing can be tricky sometimes and has to be monitored.

There is no right or wrong - hopefully yoru coral will recover.

From the looks of it the scoly is going into recession from stress

Scoly has been this way for 4 months

My alk went from 8.5 to 11... i accidentally overdosed... will there be any mortality? I only have soft corals 2 mushroom and 1 scoly

I have a very large sps system, while out of town something happened to my calc reactor/apex combo. Long story short I went from 7.0 to 13 and then messed up my correction efforts and had it drop to 4. Didn't notice a thing in the tank, almost 8 months later.
