zoos acting strangely

[ilikepie777]

For the past few days my zoo colony has been closed most of the time during the day and some of the polyps will randomly open then close again nothing much has changed in the tank other than the fact that I have started dosing alkalinity as I'm getting ready to get a sps coral and see how it goes in the past couple of days I've also gone from power compact to a par38 led but I don't think that's the problem because they were open for about a week with the leds on so IDK why they are suddenly doing that, my palythoas are also kind of doing it too just not as much I have them all in a biocube 14 anyone know why please reply thanks!

have you tried to stop dosing and just return to just water changes? i assume you are testing for what your dosing. dosing to much alk at one time will raise the Ph so watch that too.

Yeah my pH is pretty high right now but I want to raise my alkalinity so I could get some birdsnest into my tank

i would deff say that the quick change in PH is what has your zoas unhappy....have to bring the alk up slowly

 

[ilikepie777]

oops newb mistake so will they come through?

i would think they should be ok....give them stedy tank perams and let them open up
