re: do corals go through cycles? (help)
I just developed some cyano in my tank and it's starting to spread.
SG = 1.025
Temp = 82
Nitrates = 0
Ph = 8.4
At the same time, my plate corals are looking thin and somewhat withdrawn, my organ-pipe is completely retracted, and my toadstool is completely retracted.
On the other hand, a little baby organ-pipe looks great. So do my pulsing xenia, mushrooms, yellow polyps, brown polyps, frogspawn, and shrimp.
Question:
- are the weak-looking corals related to the cyano problem? or do corals just go through cycles and retract like that? (It's been two days)
- other than testing TDS of freshwater, changing light bulbs, and reducing feeding, is there anything else I should do?
Thanks a lot. I'm nervous.
