Hey guys,

Normally I have my tank in top notch conditions, but I travel a lot so I leave the tank with my dad. I have some mushrooms that have been closed up for over two months. I think it could be because of low salinity, high par, and when my dad topped it off with fresh water, he poured brown water (dirty pipes) killing all the corals I had and the mushrooms are the only survivors. The fish are fine, but I have no clue what was the actual culprit. I performed a water change 2 days ago and my current parameters are:
Salinity: 34 ppt
Temperature: 78-80 F
Alkalinity: 9.8
Calcium: 481
Phosphate: 0.07

Any questions or suggestions are helpful. I hope you see the mushroom picture: file:///Users/josemamedina/Pictures/Photos%20Library.photoslibrary/resources/derivatives/2/2A8C36F1-C20E-4A7E-A73F-1C488D843EEB_1_105_c.jpeg
