do not experiment

Thanks for sharing....

 

ok i finally have my tank stable and the water is fine but i have some loss from the sudden change in ph.everything is healthy again but these ones.

dead tips but i think it'll make it

badly receded but i think will be ok

i have no clue if it'll make it

only the mouths are left

one of 2 echinophylia chalice that will not recover from badly receding

half died but it has new growth

pavona with no chance of recovery

hydnophora just about gone


calcium 440
magnesium 1380
alkalinity 11.5dkh
ph 8.2 brought down from 8.6 suddenly
salt 1.025
everything else at zero

 

Forget all the additives and forget all the tests.

Routine water changes will do all for you with a good salt mix.

Only thing that may need adjusting is your Ca, which will depend on what kind of tank you keep.

All kinds of ways to safely do that.

 

thanks and i agree.i did alot of water changes and the ph would not come down so i brought it down and too fast.from here on out i will only do the water changes.anything that was not strong enough to make it through this problem will be replaced by easier corals to care for.i'm looking to replace most of the lost coral with mushrooms blue,purple,and red tongan.i'm also done using red sea test kits.on a brighter note,all my other corals are doing most excellent.some better than ever

 

Glad to hear everything is stabalizing. I'll put that in my pocketbook of things not to do!!!
