I posted something about this a few days ago. I thought maybe because the alkalinity was too high, my corals were bleaching. I do not think they are bleaching, they do not have any polyps and the skin is shedding somewhat..
I took those out, but it is just spreading all over the tank. Other corals are dying, and now soft corals are dying too. I did large water changes twice. The ammonia is back down to 0. The phospahet is a bit high,(.25) but i doubt that it is cuasing this. I had my phosphate high at one point for reasons thats too long to explain, and nothing like this happened.
One of my anemone has died in the tank, i believe. I cant find it and it is somewhere in the rocks. I have a 175 gallon tank and it would be veryyy hard to take everything out and look for the anemone. I might just do that and wont find anything.
I have no idea what to do. If the ammonia is down, why are things still dying, and is there anything besides water changes i can do. Is the anemone releasing some sort of poison in to the water. Maybe i can dose something that will counteract whatever he is releasing.
Info on tank: Tank established for about 5 years. Calcium at 420. ammonia at 0. pH at 8.00, phosphate at .25. I dose alkalinity once every two weeks, strotnium once every two weeks. Magnesium weekly, Kalkwasser dripping, iodine weekly. I have two phosphate reactors.
HELP!
