John Vinson Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Two days ago I was trying to setup a auto-fish feeder and it dumped way too much food (pellets). The next day there was a white cloud in the tank and the GSP, kenya tree, Pipe Organs and toadstools all closed up tight. Yesterday I did a 10 gal water change (RSM 250) and did some testing with the following results: - Nitrate = 0 - Nitrite = 0.25 - Ammonia = 0.25 - Phosphate = 0.25 - Alkalinity = 9.6 - Salinity = 1.026 The white cloud has since cleared up, but those 4 corals have stayed closed (the zoas, hammers, acan, mushrooms, blasto, kaleidoscope polyps, and ricordea all seem to be unaffected). Was this just a bacteria bloom that has to run its course, or is there something else I should do or be worried about? TIA for your help!

Higher Thinking Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Sounds like a bacterial bloom, but the ammonia is the problem. I would continue some water changes and/or use some prime to detoxify the ammonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vinson Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thanks for the reply...I did just that and the GSP seem to be opening up again...still waiting for the others though. Thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
