PowderBlue Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Are you able to test your water at all? Nitrates, ammonia, alk, etc? Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBlue Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If your nitrates and phosphates are high that's likely it. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrillion Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Should I go a day without dosing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttleFishandCoral Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I would get to a Lfs and get ur phosphates and nitrates tested. too many things it could be without knowing more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Looks like things are a bit out of whack as well. Alk too high, ca and mag too low. Stop dosing alk and adjust the other two slowly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrillion Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Test your water to see if you have detectable copper.theres no way? And if I do the carbon I have will take it out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragged Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 In all my years I was not aware that carbon removes copper. Crazy. I had carbon running when I accidently added copper to my tank and lost everything. Question, you have 2 threads running...one stating you are losing corals and the other trying to sell corals. Are these in a different system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexinverts Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's probably a simpler cause than something like copper. What were your nitrate and phosphate levels? Did you have Jeff check them for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softy Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 In all my years I was not aware that carbon removes copper. Crazy. I had carbon running when I accidently added copper to my tank and lost everything. The carbon won't remove the copper itself... it removes the copper that is attached to other bio material. as far as i am aware, copper is not attracted to carbon. I may be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
