My corals are dying left and right!

[SeasonedReefer]

For some odd reason my corals are all dying left and right I have no idea why either. My params all look good.

Sg 1.026
Ph 8.2
Phosphate 0
Nitrate 0
Alk 8
Ammonia 0

Coral affected tri color, sunset monti, rainbow monti, red planet, all of my acans, pretty much every thing is either receding dead and or dying. Fish seem un affected inverts including snail crabs and shrimp are fine help!

You didn't mention Calcium and temperature. Are only the SPS dying (assuming there are non-SPS in there) ? Also did you change anything lately, New food, salt, light, buffer, lawnmower, TV remote, tube socks?!!

 

[mojo~]

what about phosphates. I would do multiple water changes just to make sure you are back to square one.

everything in my tank has done 10x better just doing water changes.

I haven't changed anything at all.

My calcium is right at 450 the temp fluctuates from about 76 to 79 but has done this for years. I don't understand even my frog spawns are just melting away. Acans are nothing but bone this is just pure insanity. Imgetting ready for a water change tonight butt the rate things are dying it will be too late.

I have no idea what to do man this really sucks.

Have you done anything new lately? Are you using any new products, etc? Any chance something foreign spilled into the tank?

this may be out of left field but you don't mention magnesium either. This should be about 3 times your ca level and is an often overlooked parameter. It works in conjunction with the ca and alk. If you are using a two part make sure you are adding the mg (epsom salts) after each course. If this parameter is out you will lose all your stony corals. It takes a huge amount to make up also. I would suggest major water changes to hopefully get everything back into sync. No telling what has happened......this really sucks and no doube it is devastating I am sure. Good luck......
