I have a question for anyone who can help me.
I have lost two elegance corals now, one about 4 months ago and the other just this week. Both of them were only in the tank for about 3-4 weeks before they started to go downhill. They both did great for a while opening up nicely and looking good, but then they just went downhill over night. I also have two Duncan’s that are going downhill now. One has been it the tank for months now. My two torch corals look great, as well as my frog spawn and other various LPS corals I have. I guess I’m not sure why I would have such a hard time with the elegance coral and why the Duncan’s seem to have this problem all of a sudden. I don't test for calcium or phosphates. But I do test Nitrites, Nitrates, PH, and Ammonia, and everything looks normal. The only thing is my Nitrates always stay a little high. Does anyone know what it could be? Maybe something is picking at them until they die, or some parameter I’m not testing for could be high? I just don't know, please help it's very frustrating.
