Anyone had experience with large leather causing things to get mad or die inexplicably in their system?
I had an 'event' last week that correlated with a water change although no swings were measured. *Even temperature.
I noticed some viscous bubbles in the sump that looked like someone spit in the water.
The leather has been balled up but it has mood swings all the time so I didn't think much of it at first.
However, within 24 hours my plate montipora had lost its red color (to brown) and my zoas and other corals closed up for days. They started opening again but now my maxima clam is on a hard decline. I'm very concerned it will not make it.
I am seeing the viscous water in the sump again after having disappeared for a few days.
Could it be terpenoids from the leather and have any of you been through this?
Some ghost chemical or substance is affecting the tank. It's not the 'usual' parameters and I'm going crazy. SO exhausted from worrying about my corals.
Help?
