That looks like it has some necrosis on it. What are your water parameters?

 

[ronn1234]

salt 1.025
ph 7.9
nh3/nh4 0
no2 0
water temp is 78
light is 2x65w PC (1)10k/(1) anatic
25 Gal w/30lbs of live rock been up for 1 1/2 yrs receantly moved about 1 month ago.

The coral wasn't like this yesterday the only thing that has changed is i added a Coralife Super skimmer and last night it pulled a ton of green crap out of my water.

PH is low, and I don't see one of the most important stats for leathers, the alk. Get a good test of your alk/calc/mag.

 

[ronn1234]

what is the best way to raise PH
is alk the same as carbonate hardness
