Last week if you caught my previous topic about my octospawn issues.(slowly creeping upward from base)
I been monitoring my calcium levels which have dropped when I went away. The calcium was at 300 in an attempt to increase them I did a water change. In the mean time I went ahead and checked my mag(1300) and alk(8). I was dosing with the Kent turbo calc(small beads not liquid) which was doing ok.
Now here is where things have gone from bad to worse. 2 days ago I retested my calcium as I do every 2 days. In disgust I found my calc levels to slip even deeper to 250. I dose replacement water with the turbo calc as directed. In a hope it was a test kit I purchased another kit. Same exact finding. I proceeded with another 10% water change. And dosed some liquid calc. The mag and alk are stable and the tank life includes buttons, 1 small Monti, digi, octospawn, dendros, and hammer. All of which are good except the hammer and my star polyps have closed since this has started. My dendros I purchased at the swap had 2 heads. 1 of which came out and is growing every time i feed him. The head i have not seen a hint of.
The tank is 1 year and has been stocked for about 4-5 months with those piece except the dendros.
