THANKS FOR THE REPLYS!!!! Keep em comming!
OK,
If your fish arent stressed see if you can wait it out.
My stonies and LPS were looking BAD I can always throw the fish into my FO 125, thats not a problem. Its the corals Im worried about. The massive water changes dilute the problem in the Water column.
Im of the opinion that its a bacterial bloom. I think so
Heres an idea. use a VERY SMALL (1/8th dosage ?)amount of marine anti bacterial drugs for fish.
I tried this in combination with lights out for 4 days, no change at all.
Are you dosing kalk? With all the water changes I havent dosed anything! just whatever comes out of the bucket.
chemiclean (for cyano) may work here
It may...Maybe that will be next.
go with Myracyn 2.
Is that reef safe?
UPDATE++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I transfered all corals back into the display and turned off my return pump to prevent the "substance" from being mixed into the water column. so far so good the corals look good and are opening.
I have super low flow in the tank to prevent surface agitation and Im begining to see what I think is the problem.
On all surfaces or the LR and tank there is what appears to be bubbles attached by clear strings being released int the wc. With the low flow, the bubbles and strings are flating to the top of the water and accumulating on the surface. I believe this to be the source. The question is , What is it?
I have 15lbs of fiji LR cooking in the living room. Nitrites are high. Once the nitrites die off Im going to make the switch. Im afraid I am going to contanimate the new LR wirt the old LR rubble that my corals are attached to. I would hate to have to break off every coral from its base to attach it to the LR
Do you think Maracyn2 and chemiclean are worth a shot?
