Nopox and Leather Corals
Has anyone noticed that their leather corals are no looking good after prolonged use of Nopox? I discontinued use a few days ago and am doing water changes daily.

What are your nitrate/phosphate levels?
Lack of nutrients can be problematic for any corals.. Some just seem to do better in higher nutrient waters

It's def not lack of nutrients. To be truthful, I was using more than the recommended dose. Everything else is fine but the leathers are most def ****ed.3 20 gallon changes over the last 3 days-on a 120 gallon-and they are looking a bit better, that is, "fuller" but no polyps.

Hmm, I ran GFO for a while with leather corals, and they seemed fine, but every tank seems to be a bit different.

Well... there is likely a point where an excessive amount could be problematic..
I would simply avoid excessive overdosing.. It hasn't been shown to be beneficial to go crazy with carbon dosing and has been shown to cause issues (mostly by an overabundance of bacterial "snot" visible in the water column that could disturb corals I suppose)
