What is going on with my LPS?!

[jbvdhp]

About a 3-4 weeks ago, my lps started "retracting". Frogspawn, hammer, torch... Thought it was something for a day or two but no. It's in an area of low-mod light and mild-mod random flow.

SG 1.025
Alk 9.0
Ca 410
Mg 1290
79 deg

And now they look like this... I thought it was splitting but now, no tentacles. What gives?

It's as if they're trying to inflate in the AM but can't or won't with lights (LEDs) on. They were fine for 5 months or so and bought from a tank that all seemed healthy.

On another note, all my sps is dead. No ammonia, trace phosphates, low nitrate as in under 5 ppm

Are you running carbon, If all corals are effected I would expect chemical pollutant of some type in the water. You could also try using polyfilter it will change colors if it is pulling anything out of the water

I have a similar problem going on. I'm currently running a ploy filter with no color indication so far. What type of salt do you use?

 

[Heatherabel3]

Nitrates? Ammonia?

 

[jbvdhp]

I am not running GFO or carbon at the moment. I'm at a loss of words. No ammonia and very little nitrates.

do you have any softies in there that might be releasing their toxic?

 

[scooter31707]

When you say low light what type of lights are you using?

Make sure your testing right, ask your LFS or a friend to compare to be sure its not your test kits. Also, with scooter, what's your light set up and light cycle?
