All 3 of my BTA have gone from beautiful colors And having full bubble tips to sad looking brown pucks in a matter of 30 days. They are constantly leaving brown rings wherever they stay and realeasing slime almost all day. My tank is a 40b with a 20g sump. I’m running GFO, and Carbon. I was dosing All for Reef but quit because it caused my ALK to raise to about 13. The 2 rainbows were barely introduced to my tank August 24, and before that my other BTA had been in there 4 months with no issues and full coloration. So I recently did a 5 gallon water change (the BTA were already the way they look before the water change) to start the slow transition of switching to Fritz from Reef crystals. I’m switching because of the high ALK that comes with Reef Crystals. I also just started running GFO, my phosphates were around 0.45 before I started but none of my coral were ever visibly upset so I would only monitor it and make sure it wouldn’t rise (again the BTA already looked like crap before the GFO also). I’m just looking for any type of answers to get my nems back to themselves. Please help!
