Just leave them be. Whatever damage is done - is done. Just let them heal on their own. Good Luck.

What do I need a picture for if it's a alkalinity burn

Thank you

do chalices get alk burn?

Yes I have experienced tissue recession with low alk, and burning with too high of alk.
Another scenario is something like salt creep, or even sand falling on top of the chalice - this will cause tissue to recede quickly. IME

I'd like to see pics so if I see it on my chalices I'll know.

double post

and they said chalices were easy....hey reeforbang, maybe people want to see a picture so they could actually pinpoint the problem instead of you assuming it's an alk burn.

again, i see attitude when there shouldnt be...

the 'forum' mentality will always be one of multiple voices/opinions, right and wrong...

as for the 'issue', it is always helpful to disclose all the stats, and peramters even thoush some of them may not be relevent, or maybe not relevent... and pictures are aways worth a thousand words...

and my opinion on dosing and supplimenting is one of caution.. and to avoid it at all costs unless absolutely/posititutely sure it is or rather it will be corrected and maintained by dosing....

typically, most hobby reef tank/systems dont require adding supplimental... typically any 'shortage' or drop in a specific mineral or chemical can be made up with a water change... if a 'regular' water change dont cut it thne a larger water change or a more frequent water change.....

if you find yourself constantly low on a specific element then to figure out why.. is it the water or salt mix or do you have a 'specific need' for that element... and if possible swap out or roate the organism that is demanding that specific element...

after you figure out this specific problem that you are posting about, ie whether or not it is or isnt an ALK problem etc, then i suggest you test your water prior to a water change, then after a water change to see what or how the water change affected things... I would also test the water you use for your water change...


i suggest you read teh water chemistry section of these forums.... I also suggest reading and understanding teh RAndy holmes farely articles on TWO PART dosing... these are great articles not only to inform / educate on the TWO PART process of dosing, but just the basics of what or how the chemistry is affected by things and how to adjust/correct...
