I wasn't talking about ammonia. I was saying to do a water change to take out the overdose.
 
overdose was done two days ago everything is back to normal.Just wondering if day by day i ll be loosing more .....because the rest sps don't look happy
 
Oh, I must have missed that part. I don't know how the coral will react. Was there any precipitation when the overdose occured and the pH spiked? Any chance the corals got "snowed" on?
 
If that big milli went up in two days I would be scared. If the pH only went up for a few minutes there might be more to it. Could it's death be affecting the others?
 
The corals might have been irritated, or there might be some water qualities issue due to the coral dying. I'd just run some fresh carbon and watch the ammonia level.
