Hi! New to the hobby, im running a biocube 32 with chemipure blue and small amount of chaeto for my pods. Ui p amd running with no issues for 4 months when suddenly im having issues with mostly my lps corals and my mushrooms. I habe a small neon green toadstool leather and I suspect its releasing terpenes into the water columns which completely killed my beautifui l torch. It has happened twice in a span of 3 weeks and everytime it happens, my mushroom corals and zoas close up and my torch is completely melted as of yesterday.... i also have a pulsing xenia colony, GSP and a relatively large kenya tree coral...am i correct in they could be waging chemical warfare on my lps and mushrooms? And can I run both chemipure blue WITH extra carbon to soak up the coral toxins without stripping the nutrients from the water?? Sorry for the long post but I want to be specific!

Water quality itself is fine...
