So I was in the middle of dealing with a massive diatom bloom and then while I was at work my tank was without power for 6-8 hours. (1/12 was the outage)Everything looked OK after I got the temp back up and pump and air stone running, but as the days went on and I did 10% water changes each day my corals have either died or are almost dead. Mushroom corals are spitting filaments and shriveled and releasing from their rocks. Kenya tree looks dead. Toadstools shriveled and covered in diatoms. All snails dead. Fish are OK. Diatoms still going strong lol.
20 gal tank 77 temp, 1.025 salinity, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates from 5-10 ppm, phosphates 0.18
running phosguard since this morning to see if that might help but all the corals look terrible! Is it possible that water changes are making the situation worse?
Thanks. Hard to stay positive!
