 911
Folks, I hate to make my first post here an emergency, but I really have no choice.
Long story short: I just started, after a 10 year hiatus, a 29 gallon nano reef. Everything has been going just fine...until just this past Sunday. I added a small clump of Halmeida. (Spelling?) Everything looked great until I got home today. All my corals were drawn in like something was bad wrong. The Halmeida was damn near completely white. I yanked it instantly. I've got my 5 stage RO/DI unit brewing water for a 50% water change.
All of my peramiters test perfectly with the exception of KH. It's a bit high. Oddly, my PH is still a perfect 8.3. I don't get it. What could have happened that made my corals (Star Polyp, Yellow Polyp, Galaxia, Trumpet and an unidentified shroom) go totally south?
Perameters:
PH: 8.3
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
Phosphate: .05
KH: off the scale (Literally...it took 13 drops to turn the mixture yellow. It only goes to 12)
Ammonia: 0
I'm totally stumped on this one. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tom |
