Ok, So here is the situation tanks about 15 years old, using RO, and everything is testing perfect, I can't seem to keep LPS but some seem ok, can't figure it out what could be going wrong. Last year I tried some acans and kept them maybe 3 weeks and started to die back. Now this year I have been doing zoas and softies, everything pretty much is doing great but then got a couple of other lps, a hammer, a frogspawn, all either getting pale or receding. Also got a chalice and placed in tank and overnight the flesh receded.

Really need to figure this out.

Thanks
Cary

Gotta have those tank numbers. Remember that Softies are bullet proof, LPS require some maintenance. Also, whats your TDS?
 

Figuring out the why: Has your primary reason(s) for keeping a saltwater aquarium changed over time?
