A lot of my euphyllia have had their polyps retracted most of the week. Today I noticed a little bit of tissue recession on my gold torch. No tissue is shedding/falling off of so I don't think it is brown jelly. On some of them, the base is a little discolored and darker than normal (see photos).
I did start to implement dosing kalk this week and I think I may have had a small overdose of the slurry or something. The solution was weak (1 tsp per gallon) and I didn't add a bunch by accident but I may have dosed the wrong part. I noticed the tank was getting a bit cloudy that day and turned off the doser. In all, probably max of 300 mL went into my 25g tank. I measured my pH afterwards and it read 8.3 so I don't think there was a big swing. All of the corals were fine except for a few SPS and the Euphyllia. The SPS are back to normal now but the Euphyllia are still unhappy. This occurred on 7/9.
Only other thing I changed was that I replaced the chemi-pure and phosguard last weekend in my sump. I've since removed the phosguard and turned off my skimmer thinking that the low nutrients could be a problem.
My alkalinity has been going through the motions as I began to start testing and supplementing with an alk buffer. Trying to get it to a desirable level and keep it there with kalk but that is proving to be more difficult than I anticipated. The corals really did not care about all the alk swings in the past and only started having issues this week (jul 9).
Any insights or advice?
Thanks
