Corals Dying

[nodough]

I having a problem with corals dying, 2 sps, 3rd on it's way, , nephthea on the way, dendronephtya, xenia gone. Water test as follows Calcium 350 adding supplement to get back up, no nitrite or nitrates, ammonia 0, Temp 75, salanity 1.024, dkh 16, mag 815 added Randy's solution tonight, added calcium reactor last Sunday set at 6.50 efflunet PH 5. Did 10% water change last night.

Lighting 750 Watts MH, 2 6' VHO's on 180 gallon tank.

Any ideas where to look or what I can do to stop this epidemic please respond.

Have ordered a ozone generator not here yet.

Do a couple back to back large water changes. Quit dosing.

If you are worried about ORP (which may be problem) get a small air pump going into tank... (or sump)(or both)

Wow if you are at 350 on cal and 16 on dkh, thats not good you need to lower your dkh and raise cal. you need to buffer your water to get things in line. Were is your ph? I bet that is way out to.

When somehting that has been going right suddenly begins to go wrong. Look at the changes that have been made. I'm betting your calcium reactor is probably the cause.
