Tissue loss, why?

[KrisReef]

What is your opinion about these goals?

Numbers look good as goals.

What various methods of management do you intend to use to get there? Presuming another way to say what you said might be- to establish reliable chemical stability around these targets as the goal, right?

And because I am bored I went to your build thread. You have a lot of coral in a very small space. Pretty tank and it appears to be doing really well for less than a year.
A few other random thoughts;
Any possibility that sweeper tentacles from the Galaxia? looking coral might have reached out and whacked the coral in your first post? How fast is tissue disappearing?

If the injured coral has stopped receding I would clip off the injured ends if you have bone-cutter or similar tool.

Also, a small tank can often be kept "stable" by only doing frequent, relatively large water changes. If you are using a reliable salt mix (or can get actual ocean water) the resultant mineral balance in the tank might be more stable vs dosing and phosphate removal.

You would still need to test, but water replacement is the method wild corals are used to and it can work in nature.

Have a great day. I'm late for breakfast myself.

Thank you @KrisReef !

Is not a Galaxia is a Torche, is not touching the SPS. For now, I know I'll have a space problem soon.

The po4 problem is hard in this small tank, I created a pico refugium with a hang-on filter and helps, I started to feed less and more targeted for corals and the fish more pellets instead of frozen food, and of course, water changes like you said.

Thank you again for your time and advice.
