I have had my first SPS frag pack in my tank for about 3 months - all have shown some signs of growth - The other day i replaced my return pump (slightly stronger). When I did this I slightly changed the return outflow that I guess was more directly hitting the bunch of SPS frags I have all in the same section of rock about 24" away from the return output - well one of the frags (i think it is either a tenius or an acro) completely turned white over night. All my params are steady:
dKH: 8.4
Calc: 420
Mag: 1260
PH: 7.8 - 8.0
My PH probe has been going nuts since I put in the return pump (show low, but I have tested with Salifert and API PH test kits and they both show around 8.0 on PH), so not sure if that has anything to do with it. The other SPS frags look ok. And other corals appear happy.
Here is pic from Oct when I first put them in my tank- The one that RTN's is the one on the right next to the Green Slimer
Here is a pic of what it looks like now:
Also since this is my first SPS, is that what I can expect inthe SPS world, instant rapid death? I have never seen this type f rapid death before in my other corals.
