Like I always can tell with my torches if something is wrong because they won’t extend as much and also can tell by the tissue going down I call the trunk is starting to shrink.

Blue Z Reef Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Hard to say for sure but if more than one coral is showing signs, I’d do a water change and swap out (or put in) some new carbon. Nothing in the levels you show indicate an issue, the plate looks like it’s bleaching too. Also, make sure your heater isn’t broken and leaching crap into the water like mine did 😡 Edited January 8, 2018 by Blue Z Reef 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lights on my cheato reactor went out and took me about 3 days to get new one on there. Could the cheato dying have done that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmdh Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I'd double check your ALK. My coral started to do the same thing a few months ago. Turned out my dosing line got clogged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ReefBox Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I’m guessing it is likely it all what are you using to test (what brand) that is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas503 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I use Red Sea test kits currently but should have the Hanna reef set here today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
