Ugh, so I see white spots all over my carpenters wrasse, some on my tomini tang, foxface and royal gramma. I had a lot of little white particles in the water, so I'm really hoping it's just that. All of my fish are eating great, and active. If this is ich I don't know what I'm going to do.

Hopefully that's not your problem Walker. But if it is, I'm sure we've all been there and can help support you through it.

Alk? What’s that? Some version of Elk?

That's how we say Elk in the south.

Advice from past experiences, do not change the entire tank for a single coral, I think that depending on the coral it may require a different treatment.

8.3-10.2. Somewhere in that range.

Just out of curiosity Tim, do you know why you have that wide range?

But did it lose the entire flesh band in one day or has it been recurring for a while?

Good night nerds!

Night Kev!

Because I am not faithful enough on testing and it slowly drifts up, then I drop the alk dose and it drifts down.

Flow changes can cause that.

API alk test is just fine too Jill it will get you a pretty good/close result.

I'm exactly the same Luis I shoot for 9 and it usually falls within this range .
I am not too faithful testing.

thanks guys. idk really know luis. it just seems like its been unhappy in maybe a week at most. thanks tim maybe ill try moving it. do they like more or less flow? i thought it was so interesting the other day i was in for an mri and there was a saltwater tank in the office. they had a huge hammer and barely any flow. i mean stuff was barely moving. made me wonder if maybe some of my things would be happier with less flow

That's excellent advice. Everything has a shelf life. Any individual coral or fish could die at any time. It’s not necessarily indicative of a trend.

It could very well be because it is splitting heads. Do you see a change in the shape of the roundness? Is it pinching at any point? You have growth there. How long has it been going on?
