Hi.
I am having a problem with all my corals. This is what is happening.
The following corals are bleaching, Open brain, frogspawn, hammer. I belive it was caused by temps being to high for to long. During the day the tank would be around 85 degrees. Well one day i noticed my bubble coral was not looking normal and when i went to investigate the temp was 90 degrees. Well i have fixed the temp problem and i am at 76 to 80 with the lights on.
The Hammer coral extends fully but the color is not to good and the frogspawn is starting to extend more but not like it used to and the color is not well. Now the brain is almost clear looking with just a bit of green but it is still feeding and is puffed up in the mornings. Will the corals make a come back?
Tank parameters are:
55 gallon
2 x 96 watt Power Compacts
Bakpak skimmer
Power filter
salinity 1.024
Ph = 8.0 to 8.1
Im not sure what calcium levels are, i do not have a test kit. I dose with liquid calcium at half the recommended dosage every week when i do water changes.
Thank you
