Last week my orange setosa colony died and now overnight a small acro colony died. The setosa had been in the reef for probably a year and a half doing great. A few days back it started stn and I couldn’t save it. I just now noticed one of my acros that has been in the tank for over a year bleached overnight. It looked fine last night. My scoly is shriveled, my torch looks bad but most everything else looks good for now
Not sure what all to do. I’m mixing up some saltwater to do a water change. Problem is my salt mixes a couple points higher in alk than I keep my tank at so the water change can’t be too big. I put some new carbon in a filter sock and I guess I need to do an ICP test.
There has been no major changes recently. Parameters are pretty stable. I’m thinking it could be bacterial as I put a dying hammer that was in my frag tank from reef a palooza to see if my more established tank would help it. It didn’t. Now I have another hammer same situation in there.
Parameters - nothing out of the ordinary for my tank
Salinity 1.024
Temp 77.5-79
Alk 8.6
Cal 440
Mag 1380
Nitrate 12.4
Phosphate 0.2
Any ideas? I don’t know what to do if it is bacterial or if it spreads like that
