Hi folks!
For context, see my post here:
Thread 'Corals struggling. At a loss as to why?' https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/corals-struggling-at-a-loss-as-to-why.823160/
It started as a FOWLR tank back in September 2020, using IO Salt. When I was ready to start adding corals, I started doing 15-20% water changes, first with IO Reef Crystal's, but then changed to Red Sea Coral Pro. Why Red Sea Coral Pro when the alkalinity on it is too high? Because my wife has been using it on her tank and her corals are doing absolutely amazing.
Last week, I did a 32G water change (its a 54G tank and 20G sump) using RS Coral Pro. Still the corals are not doing well at all. I've asked several LFSs and they do not know what's wrong. The fish are doing great...just not the corals.
LFS tested my water yesterday and except for the salinity, which was at 1.023ish, everything else was good.
I do not know what else to do, so I'm thinking of doing a total water change, leaving only a few inches for the fish and changing 100% (less the remaining water) and putting new RS Coral Pro in.
Doing the 15-20% water changes that I have been doing doesn't seem to be working.
What say you?
Thanks!
