Yeah it was high salinity not low and has been problematic since January.The tips havent recovered and ive lost around 7 colonies but since ive lowered the salinity to around 1.025 ive noticed polyps are extending once again and all seem happier .I will monitor and post progress .Again cant...

Knock on wood

It all seems to make sense, when i would do a water change i was just doing more damage w/o even knowing it.Ive notice polyps starting to open up again on most of the survivors and can breath again

The salinity was reading 1.023 with both the hydrometers with the refractometer it was 1.o28

things are looking better already I purchased a refractometer and will never trust those stupid plastic hydrometers again THANKS for your input and help too bad i let like 7 beautiful corals perish all to learn a stupid simple mistake :scratchch

I had an old glass floating hydrometer and it reads 27, my plastic ones were reading btween 23 and 24 maybe your on to something.I am taking out 2.5 gallons of water at a time let it refill with top off to get it to 25.5 see if this reverses the burn.I did replace the carbon before all this...

Frustrating

i can send phone photos to someone but puter wont take

seems to affect 2 colonies at a time never all at once

i havent added anything and ive used 2 hydrometers for the past year both read the same.I did change the carbon but stopped 4 months into the problem to no avail .cprs salt changed to io didnt help lost about 7 colonies so far

Why isnt my CA going down been checked w/2 different kits and lfs

question?ive been adding 20ml alkalinity per day for over a week to keep at7.6dkh and my calcium is steady at 440 without adding any have approximately 20 sps and have been losing an unrecognizable battle with burnt tips on like 2 colonies at a time all other parameters are good and water...

i dont know if im just reaching for things bot the dead tips seem very brittle maybe its just me

clipped the tips off my dying millie this morning after installing my new ground probe lets see
