Having issues with acans being very unhappy and dying candy cane corals any suggestions

Some tanks just don't like acans. Mine is one of them

Every tank is different, what works for me might not work for you.

How old is the tank, and what salt are you using?

A year old give or take and I use lfs water

Have you checked the salinity? The alk and Ca seem high.

Do you know what brand of salt they use? I have much better luck making my own. I highly recommend you do too. LFS often use cheap salt and there’s just too many variables you can’t control. Buying premade saltwater always led to more issues for me. So I highly recommend you invest in an RODI unit and make your own.

I assume you mean 1.026 s.g. Coral take a while to come around after correcting parameters. Sometimes weeks to months. But if it was a small deviation, then something else like lighting or flow could be the cause. Do you have a pic of the tank and coral in question?

Calcium and alkalinity many would say are high, at least in comparison to NSW. 21 N03 and .2 phosphates, also on the high end. I would try to get closer to NSW in all four areas. My nitrates are hovering around 15, not low by any means. Calcium around 450 alkalinity 8.3-8.6, phosphates.06.
