corals bleaching ? help !
I have had a 20gal high coral reef tank for about 4 months everything was going great. But about a month ago I realized that my frogspawn was slowly decaying and eventually died. I would say 4 out of 8 did not make it and now I see my brain starting to do the same thing . Any ideas or help?
I was thinking my ph is to high can that be the problem. Can u drop it? Cal. 410 Temp. 78 to 83 Ph. 8.6 this was the highest it could be on the test chart. |

No I use ro from the lfs.
My alk level is where it needs to be on the chart. But I have not checked the magneseum level yet. So it probably my fault . But I will buy a mag kit and test it. Salinity . 1.025 and 1.026 |
