I have been using natural sea water in all 3 of my tanks for over 2.5 years now so it's the same water used, but I'm losing lps heads in the 2 smaller tanks, I had 1 more head go yesterday and 1 more in my other tank is only just hanging on.

Yes that’s the same thing it looks like on mine. But so far I’ve done a icp test and found I had a bit of metals I’ve been doing 15% now I’m up to a 20% weekly water change and now using curibsorb now and so far no bailout I’ll keep touching down to keep u updatedI have been using natural sea water in all 3 of my tanks for over 2.5 years now so it's the same water used, but I'm losing lps heads in the 2 smaller tanks, I had 1 more head go yesterday and 1 more in my other tank is only just hanging on.
Please do, I have tested all 3 tanks tonight and the tank that I've lost most hammers has a higher calcium than I'd like which is 480.Yes that’s the same thing it looks like on mine.

Are all three of your tanks connected? I have another tank in the dining room and I do t have the same problems with that tank. Just my living room set up. I have the problems with. What are some of your other parametersPlease do, I have tested all 3 tanks tonight and the tank that I've lost most hammers has a higher calcium than I'd like which is 480.
I am following this thread with interest. I also have the exact same problem. I have been attributing it to the dinos in my system. I have been working on them for months. Can not get rid of them so far. The problem extends to my acans. I noticed that when I started blasting the dinos with a turkey baster that it quickly spread to Acans. All corals except mushrooms died. Waiting for upgraded UV.None of the tanks are connected.
Here's the levels that I cam test for.

The reason tank 3 temp is so high is because I'm trying the elevated temps to try help with dino issue I have and am not able to do water changes currently to help lower alk, as makes dino worse. The alk has been that level since march. The photo I took was of a coral in tank 3, I feel that will bail out soon.
The only tank I have dino issues with is number 3 as I put it down to starting it with dry rock so I don't think the stability is there .I am following this thread with interest.

I wonder if others with this problem have Dinos best I can tell from my microscope is I have Coolia. Would appreciate knowing if there is a connection here.
