my alkanlinity and pH should be stable, i had added kent's superbuffer to my water and lately I've been making the switch to a calcium reactor. The rtning had started before the calcium reactor was put up.
but still, I have other sps in my tank and if flucuation were the case I think some of the other corals would pick it up
the dont have any evil crustaceans. only scarlet hermits, snails, and a cleaner shrimp
the only fish I think would be a bother is the false lemonpeel dwarf angel, but I doubt he is the culprit because the rtning is from the base
i will definitely be on the look out tonight,
besides the usual redbugs and nudi's and AEFW which can be found pretty easily if you know what you're looking for, what other pests are there??
WELL today I checked my birdnest, I dont know if its cuz it got stung or water, but the tips of the branches bleached. I think it fell on my green slimer, when I put it back after an inspection.
But jsut to be on the safe side, I did a 15% water change.
my coral skeleton had some green tint, so someone concluded i might have too much phosphate. So I had added a phophate sponge, which cleared up all my algae in my tank walls... so that might be one of the reasons.
The water change such take care of the phosphate and any other water quality issue. But just to be safe, I'll do another 15% water change on friday. I ordered another seio and I'm going to install a seaswirl that I had in my closet.
So begins the experimentation, I'll let you know.
I think it might be a phosphate problem or flow problem
-- diagnosis, water change and increase water turnover rate.
