I HAVE 2 ISSUES;
1st-
I have been trying to figure out why all of a sudden my thriving Gonipora coral has over about 3 weeks slowly started to not come out and slowly die. I have tried dipping in coral RX and also Bayer complete insect killer per directions on bulkreefsupply.com. NOTHING, still dying off. It is a beautiful coral and i would love try to save it. ANY IDEAS on what else can be done??
2nd-
I have a Duncan coral and started with one head and quickly grew to 2 heads. Now, for about a week or so, it has not opened at all. I have tried feeding it and turned the lights down very slightly since it is the center of the tank about 3/4 way down (24" height of tank) ANY IDEAS on what else can try?
Tank is a 70G reef with multiple soft corals and LPS.
fish: clowns and a White Cheek tang
Parimeters;
PH- 8.22
DKH- 9
CAL- 500ppm
nitrate- 0
nitrite- 0
temp: 79
the only thing i changed is about a month ago i started mixing 1 table spoon of Kalkwasser into about a gallon of water, let settle and i run the solution through my dosing pump. 20ml in the morning, 20ml in the afternoon, and 20ml at night. COULD THIS BE AN ISSUE??
