L.P.S. Melting Help

[Marksreef]

L.P.S. Slowly melting.
I just cant figure what it is. Ive been in the hobby 20 years.
No jelly or critters visible anywhere around any LPS or anywhere.
I dose two part by hand and auto top off STABLE ~
Normal light intensity and distance from water. 1- Hydra 52 over 30"X30" cube.
No stray Voltage.
Happy fish and Happy S.P.S. from the few that are in there.

Are all you lps not happy? I just had same issue and ran carbon which saved them

 

[Marksreef]

No their all not happy.
I am running carbon I started last week and am going to change today. It would be nice if they all would recover now lol.
they sent like dead but not full and loosing 1 head at a time.

I lost one torch through the process but after running carbon and water change everything came back to life

Normal light intensity and distance from water. 1- Hydra 52 over 30"X30" cube.

hydra 52 or 52HD?

can you post a screenshot of your schedule, and how high off the water your light is?
there is no such thing as a normal, setting or value for either, it will be different on everybody's tank.
and we can't guess how yours are setup.

Can you post a pic of your tank?

Visual cues are sometimes available that by ourselves we overlook.

Numbers will help also...

 

[jurgenph]

while you're at it, can you post a FTS?

More info would help us narrow down your issue. If you've been in this 20 years that makes you dang near my age & I forget ALOT of basics on occasion ... lol (I have a great memory, it just doesn't last long) If you can get params as temp, Alk,Cal,mag and nitrate for starters - we can go from there.

Thanks, Everyone.
In my original thread is the link to the" test results" I had Triton do.
I have the Hydra52 HD's they are about 11 inches off the water. I'll do a screen shot tomorrow but I say normal because Ive had them a year at this setting and everything was going great till something went south.
The tank is 5 years old.
Pictures tomorrow.
I added carbon last week with a water change and just added fresh carbon with a large water change. I do %10 weekly but mostly %18 bi weekly.

would love to see pictures of the LPS in trouble.
