HELP! Is something wrong with my frogspawn?

[Braunreffer]

These are good parameters. Have you made any changes to your tank recently? How are you maintaining alk/calc and nitrates

Well i had a high salinity 3 weeks ago due a defective calibration solution, but is fixed now, i dose alk and nitrates with xenia and chaeto.

I make water changes if 10% every 2 weeks.

And feed reefroids 2 times a week and try to ever feed my tank, but nitrates wont go up

How high and how did you fix it? Whats your No3 at? You don't dose calcium?

It was 1.028 and downed it with 3 weeks water changes of 10%

I guess mi water comes with calcium or aquaforest salt gives me just the right ammount for my tank. Tested with redsea and hanna.

Nitrites and nitrates are at 0, nitrates is an api test so i figure it might be 0 - 5ish.

Could it be getting stung by anything nearby? Whats next to it?

That all sounds fine, how much does your Ca dip over the course of a week though? I don't like the low No3. I would shoot for 10 or so. But you're dosing No3 and also growing chaeto?

Hmm, I would expect a sting from a torch to hit the big fleshy tentacles not the base. I could see aptasia or something causing this, a sting from a torch I would expect to see the whole polyp upset.

Hi, today when my frogspawn started to shrink to sleep i noticed some of its skeleton is visible, i dont know if its normal as the frogspawn is acting normal...

Can tou help me?

I wonder what are those black specs and the round circles are spirorbid worms right?

2 months ago is plenty of time for the coral to get over that sting but I worry your stability may be upsetting the frogspawn. Low calcium consumption could be a sign of imbalance or false test results. Calcium and alk should move together

Full tank shot? How much coral you got in there?

The round circles look like heads wanting to burst out and grow. I could be wrong about that but I am very curious about those black specs too.

Maybe it gets -10 ca per week las tiime i checked it to measure consumption

Tey look like small heads ut will check them tomorrow

Yes they are small heads, they have green fosfo dots

Yes i lose close to .6 alk per week but i dose alk 3 times a week, and have beeen getting right amount of calc with water changes.

I have tested hanna and api/redsea, by me and a fellow reefer and all is good.

Is close to a powerhead but havnt seen much flow or tissue ripped by it

Not much coral, i had a bacteria bloom but havnt noticed any co traction o the torch, i even thojght head might be splitting as it seems bigger, but just noticed this issues.

I like how you did your aquascape, going to be a cool tank! As for your frogspawn, I would try to get your no3 up over 10 and keep a close eye on it. I'll also tag #reefsquad to see if anyone else has some ideas.

Im trying i gues i will have to dose and reduce chaeto to half

Thanks for my aquascape comments

Indeed your aquascape looks cool! Are there any fish or moblie inverts in this tank? If this coral start to decline rapidly you may want to give it a dip.Hopefully this issue is not related to a parasite.

Yes my livestock is:
Turbosnails
A couple hermits
Skunk shrimp
2 clown fish
Lawnmower blenny
Yellow coris
Carpenter wrasse
Watchman goby
Goby clown


Apparently is growing on the skeleton, is it because is growing? Or is repoblating a dead zone?
