FROGSPAWN HELP

Possible spike.

I think calcium dropped really low bc I just had a problem w it and an dosing calcium/alkalinity and I couldn’t do it for 3 days so that’s prob why

I did have the flow on full blast on it and the light was in full power for 3 days straight

Please do some research about the corals you put in your tank. Frogspawn (and most other euphyllia) cannot withstand flow "at full blast".

Why are you dosing anything on a brand new tank? Water changes are going to take care of the elements for you at this stage. Don't complicate things with unnecessary products. Spend that money on getting a good filtration system (RODI) or other things you'll need long term to keep a healthy system.

Ethan, a reef tank is not a TV. Your tank is very new. Not even done cycling. No one needs to dose Alk and calcium in a brand new tank started from dry rock with a couple of corals. A seasoned reefer who upgrades to a new tank with a ton of SPS? Sure. But not you, not this tank, not now.

You are not even trying to understand the advice you're being given. Good luck.
And good luck to anyone else trying to help you (read through Ethan's other threads and you'll see a pattern...)
